The Tie That Binds by Kent Haruf - Simply excellent

Colorado, January 1977. Eighty-year-old Edith Goodnough lies in a hospital bed, IV taped to the back of her hand, police officer at her door. She is charged with murder. The clues: a sack of chicken feed slit with a knife, a milky-eyed dog tied outdoors one cold afternoon. The motives: the brutal business of farming and a family code of ethics as unforgiving as the winter prairie itself.

In his critically acclaimed first novel, Kent Haruf delivers the sweeping tale of a woman of the American High Plains, as told by her neighbor, Sanders Roscoe. As Roscoe shares what he knows, Ediths tragedies unfold: a childhood of pre-dawn chores, a mothers death, a violence that leaves a father dependent on his children, forever enraged. Here is the story of a woman who sacrifices her happiness in the name of family--and then, in one gesture, reclaims her freedom. Breathtaking, determinedly truthful, The Tie That Binds is a powerfully eloquent tribute to the arduous demands of rural America, and of the tenacity of the human spirit.

Simply excellent
Any book by Kent Haruf is excellent. I have read all of his books.
His stories are about relationships and he can develop the most interesting and likable characters you will ever know. This book is about
five of the nicest,scariest and quirky people and the tie that bind them.
Excellent, as all of his books.
