Contender for my book of the year

At Hawthorn Time by Melissa Harrison was an excellent novel. It's a book that is stronger of characterisation than plot and there are some tremendous characters ranging from young to old, male to female, which is quite a feat. Pervading it all is a sadness at the loss of traditional ways and our disconnection with Nature. If you like Hardy's The Woodlanders then you'd like this.
