Helpful Score: 1
While not rising to the occasion as much as in his previous novel, "Plainsong," Haruf still manages to tell a taut tale full of ambiguous characters and his easygoing style of prose that seems so effortless.
One problem I had with the book is that I didn't relate to any character, didn't "feel"
for any one, no one seemed near redemption nor triumph. This is a sad story, but it's not pandering and seems like a near slice of real life living among the plains of the Midwest.
