I love descriptive novels, because it makes me escape into the writing even more. Its usually like I am watching a video in my head.
I read this book when I was about 10,11 I think. Yeah, I read lots of books that age, I really had no business reading. But I loved this book.
I have always been intrigued by America's history and everything that surrounds it. The ins and outs of the people, how much they were interwoven.The story deals with several families living in the Chesapeake Bay area, from 1583 to 1978. A large book.
There is so much I could speak about, but the setting in Chesapeake bay was so descriptive, I had dreams of living in that time, I got my atlas ..(no google maps then) Looked for the location and began to just envision all I was reading. It was an amazing book to read.
I experienced a wide range of emotions, happiness, laughter, I cried sometimes. It covered a whole range of topics as humanity allows, but I understood it all.
I want to read this book again.

Bingo. :)
totally understand what u mean...novels used to be my solitude when i was younger, and once in a while i still run to them 'cos i can make up d scene and transport myself there to experience the various emotions expressed there, thats one of the reasons i'm glad i read harry potter 1-6 in secondary school before the movies came out, 'cos trust me it was nicer in ma head..
