Title: Plainsong
Author: Kent Haruf
Year: 1999
The overlapping lives of several men, women and children in a small Colorado town are narrated with attention to the tiniest details, and Haruf's simple, straightforward prose lets the characters' actions stand prominent, as the beauty of human compassion shines boldly in the face of bitterness and anger; if you're looking for action and a complex plot, look elsewhere, but if you like a no-frills narrative of human emotions, give this book a try.
