"Ambitious, but never seeming so, Kent Haruf reveals a whole community as he interweaves the stories of a pregnant high school girl, a lonely teacher, a pair of boys abandoned by their mother, and a couple of crusty bachelor farmers. From simple elements, Haruf achieves a novel of wisdom and grace--a narrative that builds in strength and feeling until, as in a choral chant, the voices in the book surround, transport, and lift the reader off the ground."

Journal Entry 4 by tantan at Gympie, Queensland Australia on Tuesday, April 03, 2012

I absolutely loved this.

The writing was pure and simple, but powerful and evocative at the same time. I was by turns sad and happy along with the characters, and wanted to get back to the story every time I put the book down.

I will offer this up on the Oz VBB.
