The triumph of the book, in terms of craft, is that we experience the sense of the slow passage of time so necessary to such a story. . . . The heart of the book is its tactful rendering of the emotional history of several women. . . . Precise, satisfying, and complete.\"—\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a beautiful, subtle novel that accomplishes the rare effect of presenting history from the inside out. . . . As the title suggests, this is a melody without accompaniment, music of the simplest and most beautiful kind. Perhaps it is because Morris sketches his characters so sparingly that they seem so indelible. They are such a real presence that it's hard to think they haven't actually lived.\"—\u003ci\u003eChristian Science Monitor\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Wright Morris knows the embattled regions within his people as well as the harshly beautiful landscapes that surround them.\"—\u003ci\u003eNew Republic\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884658110807,"sku":"9780803282674","price":13.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780803282674.jpg?v=1722532898","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/plains-song-9780803282674","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
