I've never been a fan of the Gondal bits either. Actually, I doubt I've read them all the way through as the first bits annoyed and bored me. I sort of see their point - the play acting and all that - but I coudl have done without them. But then, I am most certainly not a Bronte fan. Rather like Nicola and her dislike of all things Dickens.
The bit that strikes a cord with me in the Christmas dinner scene in Runaway Home, is that it's the magic type of day that accidentally falls together and can never be repeated. I've had a few of those and have also felt that I wish it could happen again... but know that it cannot. Reading that scene makes me so nostalgic for those few perfect days of my own.
