| Description: | The beautiful and heart-rending first novel from the author of Plainsong. <p>In <i>The Tie That Binds</i>, his critically acclaimed first novel, Kent Haruf delivers the sweeping tale of eighty-year-old Edith Goodnough. Narrated by her neighbour, Edith's tragedies unfold: a tough childhood, a mother's death, a violence that leaves a father dependent on his children, forever enraged. She is a woman who sacrifices everything in the name of family - until she is forced to reclaim her freedom in one dramatic and unexpected gesture. <br><br>Breathtaking and truthful, <i>The Tie That Binds</i> is a powerful tribute to the demands of rural life, and to the tenacity of the human spirit.</p> |
