Plainsong by Kent Haruf, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

This haunting novel by Kent Haruf invents a spare, unsentimental world that honours small town values. Plainsong interweaves the lives of a pregnant high-school girl, a pair of orphans, a lonely high school teacher and a couple of grumpy old farmers to weave a web of introspective drama. This moving look at modern man's capacity for pointless cruelty as well as common decency received rave reviews from the San Francisco Chronicle, Newsweek and The New York Times Book Review. Haruf is also the author of The Tie That Binds and Where You Once Belonged. | Plainsong by Kent Haruf, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
