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. . . . [With] his sheer assurance as a storyteller, [Mr. Haruf] has conjured up an entire community, and ineluctably immersed the reader in its dramas." --Michiko Kakutani,The New York Times "A work as flawlessly unified as a short story by Poe or Chekhov." --Jon Hassler,Chicago Tribune "Haunting, virtuosic, inimitable." --Sarah Saffian,San Francisco Chronicle "If the novelist invents a world, then Mr. Haruf has shaped a place of enormous goodness... The story itself--spare, unsentimental, rooted in action--honors the values of the community it describes." --Lisa Michaels, "A moving look at our capacity for both pointless cruelty and simple decency, our ability to walk out of the wreckage of one family and build a stronger one where that one used to stand." --Jeff Giles,Newsweek "A work as flawlessly unified as a short story by Poe or Chekhov." --Jon Hassler,Chicago Tribune, "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 . . . .

Synopsis
NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST * NATIONAL BESTSELLER * This poignant novel weaves together the lives of a high school teacher, a pregnant teenage girl, and two elderly bachelor brothers, capturing the essence of human resilience and community across four generations. "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." -- The Washington Post Book World "So foursquare, so delicate and lovely . . . it has the power to exalt the reader." -- The New York Times Book Review 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., NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST - NATIONAL BESTSELLER - This poignant novel weaves together the lives of a high school teacher, a pregnant teenage girl, and two elderly bachelor brothers, capturing the essence of human resilience and community across four generations.

    Mola exactly as described! Received in a timely manner. Packaging was strange with mola folded in a very small, multi folded rectangle. The envelope had produce (small oval) labels stuck on the very small, manilla envelope. Shipping charge was a bit excessive.
