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 neighbour, Sanders Roscoe. As Roscoe shares what he knows, Edith's story unfolds, a story of sacrifice and freedom.

Breathtaking, and determinedly truthful, 'The Tie That Binds' is a powerful tribute to the arduous demands of rural life, and to the tenacity of the human spirit.
