Product Information

National Book Award Finalist A heartstrong story of family and romance, tribulation and tenacity, set on the High Plains east of Denver. In the small town of Holt, Colorado, a high school teacher is confronted with raising his two boys alone after their mother retreats first to the bedroom, then altogether. A teenage girl--her father long since disappeared, her mother unwilling to have her in the house--is pregnant, alone herself, with nowhere to go. And out in the country, two brothers, elderly bachelors, work the family homestead, the only world they've ever known. From these unsettled lives emerges a vision of life, and of the town and landscape that bind them together--their fates somehow overcoming the powerful circumstances of place and station, their confusion, curiosity, dignity and humor intact and resonant. As the milieu widens to embrace fully four generations, Kent Haruf displays an emotional and aesthetic authority to rival the past masters of a classic American tradition.

Reviews
"A novel so foursquare, so delicate and lovely . . . it has the power to exalt the reader." --The New York Times Book Review "Resonant and meaningful . . . . A song of praise in honor of the lives it chronicles [and] a story about people's ability to adapt and redeem themselves, to heal the wounds of isolation by moving, gropingly and imperfectly, toward community." --Richard Tillinghast,The Washington Post Book World "A compelling and compassionate novel. . . .

    just another school assignment

    This book is by a famous author and won awards but that doesn't make it any more cohesive or interesting. There are many run on sentences - to the point of making it difficult to read. I'm sure it's just 'his style' since it's so highly acclaimed but I found it pretentious. Four separate stories that take about half the length of the book to finally start coming together, I just didn't care for it. It was a school assignment for me or I wouldn't have finished it.

    Enjoyable read.

    The story line is homespun, feels real and hard to stop reading.

    Hymnal Literature

    This book revolving around a teacher on the verge of divorce with two sons and two bachelor rancher brothers aiding a pregnant teenager with no other means of support is absolutely touching and is a great read for any book lover. Other characters revolve around this teacher and these ranchers. This story inevitably leads to the teacher, his sons, the ranchers, and the teenager all sitting at the table of the ranchers' farmhouse. A story like as beautiful as this is amazingly told by Kent Haruf.
