Query: Sometimes spectacularly vivid, other times overdone

A story about Inman, a southern soldier in the American civil war walking home across the southeast towards Ada, his love, among the dangers of war and desertion. The book is rife with description of the nineteenth century American landscape, sometimes spectacularly vivid and other times overdone. Using only sparse dialogue, Frazier creatures a beautiful love story of two individuals looking for survival and love amidst the turmoil of war.
