I first fell in love with Kent Haruf's writing in Plainsong. Haruf writes sparely yet his characters are so well developed you feel like you're visiting with longtime neighbors. Benediction takes you into the lives of Dad Lewis, wife Mary, and daughter Lorraine just when they learn that Dad has terminal lung cancer. If you can make it to the end of this book without weeping, you're made of sterner stuff than me. 272 pages. Unabridged audiobook. 8 hours 49 minutes.
