Eventide

NATIONAL BESTSELLER – The award-winning, bestselling author of Plainsong returns to the high-plains town of Holt, Colorado, with a novel that unveils the immemorial truths about human beings: their fragility and resilience, their selfishness and goodness, and their ability to find family in one another. – “Storytelling at its best.” —Entertainment Weekly

The aging McPheron brothers are learning to live without Victoria Roubideaux, the single mother they took in and who has now left their ranch to start college. A lonely young boy stoically cares for his grandfather while a disabled couple tries to protect their a violent relative. As these lives unfold and intersect, Eventide reveals Kent Haruf as a novelist of masterful authority.

“Stunning…. The dry, cold air of Colorado’s high plains seems to intensify the light Kent Haruf shines on every character in his masterful novel…. A book of hope, hope as plain and hard-won as Haruf’s keenly styled prose.” —O, The Oprah Magazine
