About Eventide by Kent Haruf

Set in the high-plains town of Holt, Colorado, Eventide follows several lives marked by loneliness, hardship, and the effort to care for one another. The aging McPheron brothers adjust to life after Victoria Roubideaux leaves their ranch to attend college; elsewhere, a young boy looks after his grandfather, while a disabled couple tries to protect themselves from a violent relative.

As these stories intersect, Haruf’s novel considers human fragility and resilience, selfishness and goodness, and the possibility of finding family beyond one’s own household. It will appeal to readers of character-focused American fiction and stories about ordinary lives, difficult circumstances, and hard-won connection.
