Review of 'Plainsong' on 'Goodreads'

[a:Kent Haruf|16266|Kent Haruf|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1309205400p2/16266.jpg]'s sparse, understated language evokes melancholy as vast as his setting on the Colorado plains. Though the book is fraught with longing, the characters' perseverance and goodness prevails over sadness and despair, resulting in a touching and heartwarming story.
