Plainsong is a novel by Kent Haruf.[1] Set in the fictional town of Holt, Colorado, it tells the interlocking stories of some of the inhabitants. The title comes from a type of unadorned music sung in Christian churches, and is a reference to both the Great Plains setting and the simple style of the writing.
The novel was adapted in 2004 into a Hallmark Hall of Fame TV movie on CBS.[2] It is the first of a trilogy, the remaining two novels being Eventide and Benediction.
