Plainsong (Paperback)

Set in Kent Haruf’s fictional landscape of Holt County, Colorado, Plainsong is a story of simple lives told with extraordinary empathy.

Tom Guthrie is struggling to bring up his two young sons alone and, in the same town, school girl Victoria Roubideaux is pregnant and homeless. Brothers Harold and Raymond McPheron – gentle, solitary, gruff and unpolished – agree to take Victoria in, unaware that their lives will change forever.

Part of the Picador Collection, Plainsong is an undeniable classic that explores the grace and hope of every human life and mankind’s infinite capacity for love. It is a novel of haunting beauty from one of America’s greatest writers.
