This is very close to a biography in tone and intent. Hansen, however, alternates his telling of Hopkin's last 10 years with a re-telling of the wreck of the Deutschland and the death of 5 nuns who were travelling on that ship to re-settle in America. It's a beautifully written, thoughtful book and I think I'm how in love with Gerard Manley Hopkins.
