Well, I thought it couldn't get any better than Plainsong, but here it is! I could not put this book down until I was done reading about the continuation of Victoria and the McPerhon brothers. This is an outstanding book by an author I've added to my favorites. I am hoping and praying for a sequel. These characters just have to be getting on with their lives somewhere, and I want to read about it!

Sequel to Plainsong--great storyteller
2 member(s) found this review helpful.
A number of critics have hailed this as "one of the best books of the year," and I agree. Haruf has an incredible talent for developing characters that seem as real as the pages they're described on. You come to know them all -- like some, understand others, pity a few. I don't think I've ever read any author who has a better talent for dialog. It's as though he listened to people and transcribed their words ... so real!
One note: Read Plainsong by Haruf first, though. I think ou'll appreciate this one much more if you do.

Eventide picks up where Plainsong left off. If you enjoyed the first, you will like this too. It's a great story featuring two brothers in this little town of memorable people. Their good times, their bad times and all in between makes it a book you don't want to finish.
I've become a big fan of Kent Haruf. I really enjoy his books with the McPheron brothers and the stories about the city Holt. They are such heart warming stories that I love to crawl into bed with on a rainy day or night. :)
