Description
The Berrybender Narratives is a sweeping four-part epic of the American West, now published in a single volume for the first time. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Larry McMurtry delivers an unforgettable story of an idiosyncratic pioneer family and their unique view of the American frontier.
In 1830, the Berrybender family embarks on a journey through the American West, leaving behind their English home to settle in Texas. As they travel up the Missouri River, they encounter a diverse range of characters, including frontiersmen, Indian fighters, and explorers. Against this backdrop, the family's dynamics are put to the test as they navigate love, loss, and survival.
Through Tasmin, a young woman of grit and beauty, McMurtry explores themes of identity, loyalty, and the human condition. As the family's fortunes rise and fall, Tasmin must take command of their collective fate and decide where her future lies.
