Larry McMurtry
1988 · Pocket Books
Set in the 1960s against the backdrop of the honky-tonk glamour of the rodeo and the desperation of suburban Houston, it is the story of the restless and lovable Patsy Carpenter. Patsy-young, beautiful, with a sharp tongue and an irresistible charm-and her shiftless husband, Jim, are adrift in the West.
