Wall Street Journal: "If a novelist invents a world, then Mr. Haruf has shaped a place of enormous goodness, in which the deprived are grateful for whatever they are given. As these people move from the wrong kind of trouble to the right kind--from isolation toward connectedness--they falter in the sweetest of ways....[B]rusque tenderness is the hallmark of this novel....[T]he story itself -- spare, unsentimental, rooted in action--honors the values of the community it describes." |

| Publisher's Note: |
Here was this man Tom Guthrie in Holt standing at the back window in the kitchen of his house smoking cigarettes and looking out over the back lot where the sun was just coming up. |

From the unsettled lives of three people emerges a vision of life, and of the town and landscape that bind them together. Utterly true to the rhythms and patterns of life, "Plainsong" is a heartstrong story of family and romance, tribulation, and tenacity. |
