Description

 							
  
  Plainsong,
according to Kent Haruf's epigraph, is "any simple and unadorned melody or air." It's a perfect description of this
lovely, rough-edged book, set on the very edge of the Colorado plains. Tom Guthrie is a high school teacher whose wife
can't--or won't--get out of bed; the McPherons are two bachelor brothers who know little about the world beyond their
farm gate; Victoria Roubideaux is a pregnant 17-year-old with no place to turn. Their lives parallel each other in much
the same way any small-town lives would--until Maggie Jones, another teacher, makes them intersect. Even as she tries to
draw Guthrie out of his black cloud, she sends Victoria to live with the two elderly McPheron brothers, who know far
more about cattle than about teenage girls. Trying to console her when she think she's hurt her baby, the best lie they
can come up with is this: "I knew of a heifer we had one time that was carrying a calf, and she got a length of
fencewire down her some way and it never hurt her or the calf."
  
  Holt, Colorado, is the kind of small town
where everyone knows everyone's business before that business even happens. In a way, that's true of the book, too.
There's not a lot of suspense here, plotwise; you can see each narrative twist and turn coming several miles down the
pike. What Plainsong has instead is note-perfect dialogue, surrounded by prose that's straightforward yet rich in
particulars: "a woman walking a white lapdog on a piece of ribbon," glimpsed from a car window; the boys' mother, her
face "as pale as schoolhouse chalk"; the smells of hay and manure, the variations of prairie light. Even the novel's
larger questions are sized to a domestic scale. Will Guthrie find love? Will Victoria run away with the father of her
baby? Will the McPherons learn to hold a conversation? But in this case, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts,
and Plainsong manages to capture nothing less than an entire world--fencing pliers, calf-pullers, and all. Kent Haruf
has a gorgeous ear, and a knack for rendering the simple complex. --Mary Park
  
  
  
  One of the most beloved novels in recent years,
Plainsong was a best-seller from coast to coast—and now Kent Haruf returns to the High Plains community of Holt,
Colorado, with a story of even more masterful authority.When the McPheron brothers see Victoria Roubideaux, the single
mother they’d taken in, move from their ranch to begin college, an emptiness opens before them—and for
many other townspeople it also promises to be a long, hard winter. A young boy living alone with his grandfather helps
out a neighbor whose husband, off in Alaska, suddenly isn’t coming home, leaving her to raise their two
daughters. At school the children of a disabled couple suffer indignities that their parents know all too well in their
own lives, with only a social worker to look after them and a violent relative to endanger them further. But in a small
town a great many people encounter one another frequently, often surprisingly, and destinies soon become
entwined—for good and for ill—as they confront events that sorely test the limits of their resilience and
means, with no refuge available except what their own character and that of others afford them. Spring eventually does
reach across the land, and how the people of Eventide get there makes for an engrossing, profoundly moving novel rich in
the wisdom, humor, and humanity for which Kent Haruf is justly acclaimed.
  
  
  
  From the beloved and best-selling author of
Plainsong and Eventide comes a story of life and death, and the ties that bind, once again set out on the High Plains in
Holt, Colorado.
  
  When Dad Lewis is diagnosed with terminal cancer, he and his wife, Mary, must work
together to make his final days as comfortable as possible. Their daughter, Lorraine, hastens back from Denver to help
look after him; her devotion softens the bitter absence of their estranged son, Frank, but this cannot be willed away
and remains a palpable presence for all three of them. Next door, a young girl named Alice moves in with her grandmother
and contends with the painful memories that Dad's condition stirs up of her own mother's death. Meanwhile, the
town’s newly arrived preacher attempts to mend his strained relationships with his wife and teenaged son, a task
that proves all the more challenging when he faces the disdain of his congregation after offering more than they are
accustomed to getting on a Sunday morning. And throughout, an elderly widow and her middle-aged daughter do everything
they can to ease the pain of their friends and neighbors. 
  
  Despite the travails that each of these
families faces, together they form bonds strong enough to carry them through the most difficult of times. Bracing, sad
and deeply illuminating, Benediction captures the fullness of life by representing every stage of it, including its
extinction, as well as the hopes and dreams that sustain us along the way. Here Kent Haruf gives us his most indelible
portrait yet of this small town and reveals, with grace and insight, the compassion, the suffering and, above all, the
humanity of its inhabitants.
