Title: Funny farmers sing a "Plainsong"
Review: Author Haruf works wonders in "Plainsong," describing little people's lives in a very big way. My favorite characters were the McPheron brothers, two eroding farmers who allow a homeless, pregnant teenager to live with them on their country farm. The girl, Victoria, brings a warmth and happiness to their home they haven't experienced in years. Victoria's treks to civilization with the McPheron's on her heels lead to unruly, utterly compassionate and very funny responses by the brothers to the modern world. The other characters' stories are enticing as well, sparse yet filled with emotion. "Plainsong" is an intriguing, often comedic novel that's a fairly quick read and time well spent.
