Plainsong

Deep in the plains of eastern Colorado lies a town called Holt. It’s not a busy town, but there’s a lot going on. Tom Guthrie is raising two young sons as his wife steps deeper into depression. Victoria Roubideaux finds herself seventeen, pregnant and desperate, turning to schoolteacher Maggie Jones for help. And the solitary ranching brothers Harold and Raymond McPheron aren’t at all prepared for the ways they’ll be involved. Eric Schmiedl’s adaptation of Kent Haruf’s National Book Award finalist is a sweeping, even-handed treatment of humanity in a small plains town.
