Plainsong

Начало книги

“If the novelist invents a world, then Mr. Haruf has shaped a place of enormous goodness. . The story itself — spare, unsentimental, rooted in action — honors the values of the community.”

— The Wall Street Journal

“Resonant, kind and generous.”

— The Boston Globe

“Compelling. . A lyrical meditation on community and family, and about how the former increasingly becomes the latter as traditional ties don’t prove binding.”

— Detroit Free Press

“A marvel of a book.”

— The Baltimore Sun

“Haunting, virtuostic writing. Inimitable, it is both spare and descriptive, as painstaking in capturing vagueness as it is precise in detailing the concrete.”

— San Francisco Chronicle

“Plainsong is nothing short of a revelation.”

— Richard Russo
