Title: What a wonderful book!
Review: Mr. Haruf writes in a clean and simple prose that is beautiful and easy to read. His characters are very well-developed and draw the reader in from the start. His treatment of the landsape reminds me of Wallace Stegner and Ivan Doig. The story line is believable and moves along briskly. Most of all, his dialogue is as real as the breakfast banter in a small town cafe.One of the jacket quotes calls "Plainsong" "the best new novel ... since 'Cold Mountain'". Amen.
