Plainsong: instant classic (self.classics)

I read Plainsong by Haruf some two years ago, and I was immediately enamored with it. All characters are so easily relatable and the whole story unfolds along a sweet melody. While bad and sad things happen, you still feel lulled by the background song and you know things are going to get solved. For any fan of “slice of life” and small stories.

How long is it?

It’s pretty short, under 300 pages I think. Under many aspects an easy read
