Plainsong by Kent Haruf
3.0
I've sat on this a few days because I'm having a hard time sorting out how I felt about this book. I enjoyed the writing - it was sparse, simple, and natural. I enjoyed the McPheron brothers and their relationship with Victoria - it was laugh out loud funny in several spots.
But there was so much that made me cringe. There were a few sex scenes that seemed misplaced and crude. Several characters never seemed to redeem themselves, but maybe that's how things really are? I'm not too interested to learn anything more about any of these people other than Victoria and the McPheron brothers, so I'm not sure I'm going to continue with the series.
