Book Description: Vintage. 1 As Is, pap(s), 2000. soft. Book Condition: New. This almost unknown novel by the author of Plainsong is a remarkably poignant and moving work. Set in the sparse, dry landscape of eastern Colorado and covering more than half a century, it focuses on Edith Goodnough, a valiant woman trapped by circumstances and duty in an almost unbearable situation. Bound by love and obligation to her hard-driving father, she is unable to marry or leave home, but finds happiness through a complex, enduring bond with her brother, until his increasing senility forces her to make a wrenching decision. Kent Haruf captures the terse, spare voice of the American Midwest in this first novel that is "a powerfully eloquent tribute to the essential dignity and tenacity of the human spirit."—Booklist"I liked everything about the book—the characters, the wonderful dialogue, the vernacular, the great humor."—James Welch 246.

The Tie That Binds (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780375724381) Haruf, Kent Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Random House USA Inc, United States, 2000. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Vintage Contemporaries ed. 210 x 140 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Colorado, January 1977. Eighty-year-old Edith Goodnough lies in a hospital bed, IV taped to the back of her hand, police officer at her door. She is charged with murder. The clues: a sack of chicken feed slit with a knife, a milky-eyed dog tied outdoors one cold afternoon. The motives: the brutal business of farming and a family code of ethics as unforgiving as the winter prairie itself.In his critically acclaimed first novel, Kent Haruf delivers the sweeping tale of a woman of the American High Plains, as told by her neighbor, Sanders Roscoe. As Roscoe shares what he knows, Edith's tragedies unfold: a childhood of pre-dawn chores, a mother's death, a violence that leaves a father dependent on his children, forever enraged. Here is the story of a woman who sacrifices her happiness in the name of family--and then, in one gesture, reclaims her freedom. Breathtaking, determinedly truthful, The Tie That Binds is a powerfully eloquent tribute to the arduous demands of rural America, and of the tenacity of the human spirit.
