Plainsong feels like gentle gossip. Quiet tales about the stories of people in town; people you have seen in small moments but whom you wondered about. What about those two young brothers who deliver papers and visit that old lady? Why was that young pregnant woman shopping with the two old bachelor brothers? Why did the mild-mannered English teacher attack the star football player on his front porch on Sunday morning?

Nothing mean spirited, just a thoughtful story about what motivates people and what strangles them.
