Synopsis
The citizens of Holt, Colorado, return in Kent Haruf's follow-up to his bestselling 1999 novel, PLAINSONG. His characters' problems are myriad: poverty, ignorance, schoolyard bullies, dying elders. But in American small towns, people help each other out, tangling their lives together without hesitation in the process--and Haruf's moving and elegiac fiction embodies that truth. As spring slowly comes to Holt, the McPheron brothers, Harold and Raymond--who are Haruf's focus this time--and their neighbors find that they have been put to the test and survived.
