Title: Put Plainsong High Up On Your Reading List!
Review: It's no wonder that Plainsong was a National Book Award finalist! Haruf has written a very heartwarming story set in a small town in the High Prairies east of Denver in which seven members of the community -- spanning four generations -- come together in the face of great difficulties to form an extended family that we all wish we could have if necessary. While the story is a very simple one, Haruf tells it with great humanity, intensity and emotion. Further, his dialogue and narrative skills are so real you think you are right there experiencing first hand life in Holt, Colorado as the story unfolds. Do yourself a favor and put Plainsong at or near the top of your "To Be Read" list.
