I simply cannot get enough of Kent Haruf's writing. The stories are not big, the themes are those of life, love, loss, birth, but not in a loud way, but a quiet, unassuming manner he writes of them. They have all been set in towns where everyone knows each other and their business, but where there is support and compassion. Love, LOVE his work and Benediction is no exception.

I'm breathless. I've just finished chapter 38 and sobbed for 10 minutes straight. Just over two years ago my family and I sat with my darling brother when he was at the end of his very short but aggressive fight with cancer. In this book a character passes and it is told so vividly, so accurately it took my breath away. This is a truly amazing piece of writing that will stay with me forever.
