Plainsong

Agreed with the recommendation in ‘novel cure'. A beautiful solace for everyone who feels abandoned or alone sometimes.

Delícia de livro da coleção da Rádio Londres, leitura de uma sentada com os vários dramas de uma cidade pequena e seus grandes dramas de toda uma humanidade...

This is what Hemingway would be like if I liked Hemingway - simple and understated but with heart. Devastatingly beautiful. I bought an old paperback copy and then was very upset to learn that the author had died several years ago. He deserved many more years of sharing his gift with the world.

The copy I read is written in ridiculously small print which I find challenging, but in spite of that I was hooked within a few pages. A beautifully written story of small town life and endearing characters. I will be reading the rest of the series whatever size the print.

Simple story with simple words.
