Early Autumn visited

So I'm about half of the way done with this new book and it is complete opposite of the previous book, Arrowsmith. The language is very emotional and flowery and detailed. There is a little Jane Eyre type mystery in it, as in there is a mad woman living in a wing of the huge house. I have been enjoying this book so far. Today while on the internet I decided to look up the author, Louis Bromfield. I don't know what I was thinking, maybe that the name was Lois, but I thought the author was a woman. According to Wikipedia, Louis Bromfield is a man, which makes since. It has changed the voice of the book for me, the language is now oddly flowery and emotional. For a woman it seems normal, but for a man, maybe a little over the top? I don't know, in any case, I'm enjoying the book.
