A sad book about two people who find love after a long time of unhappiness, and tragedy. Well written, and at times slow, but if you like books about life or feel up to being elated, than let down, and elated then you'll like this, even if the ending is both sad and thought provoking.

The author paints very vivid pictures of life and people in small-town Colorado, with always-strong narration by a particular character. Love his books!

Not as good as the first Haruf book I read, but I still really enjoy his stories about small-town regular people. I'm set to read "Plainsong" next.

This book was okay but not my favorite Haruf novel. It seemed to drag in several places, pick up and then drag again.

The author's first novel, but not his best. Still a very good read, though.
