By Sorrow's River: The Berrybender Narratives, Book 3 (Mcmurtry, Larry. Berrybender Narratives, Bk. 3.)
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Larry McMurtry continues his four-part epic, The Berrybender Narratives, with a new novel of courage and hardship that transports readers to a time when life itself was an adventure, and death was ever close at hand....
In their trek through the 1830s American West, the Berrybender family has experienced every blessing and hardship imaginable, by both the hand of man and the will of God. Now, Tasmin Berrybender leads her unconventional family as they struggle through an unforgiving land, losing loved ones and gathering new cohorts at the most unlikely turns. It is in these perilous circumstances that Tasmin's husband, the Sin Killer, disappears on a scouting expedition, leaving her to raise her young, wild son alone -- until she falls for another man. In this high-spirited and terrifying tale set against the background of the American frontier, Larry McMurtry once again shows that in the world of Western literary fiction, he truly has no equal.

Gripping scenes and emotionally sensitive
Unlike some of McMurtry's other books, which often present events objectively with a kind of emotional disconnect that makes the reactions of the people seem cavalier, By Sorrow's River reaches an emotional depth that goes beyond the story itself...

Not the Strongest in the Series
Although much fun to read, as were the first two books in the Berrybender Narratives, "By Sorrow's River" is the weakest link. Maybe because there is less action and more introspection, namely, willful, beautiful and impossible Tasmin...

Addicted to an odd series
I was hooked on the Berrybender series because of the hysterical humor in Sin Killer, so I bought the other three books in the series. I'm reading the series as one long book, and I see no other way to read it. It is, after all, just one...

Tasmin Shows Her Berrybender Roots
If you haven't read either The Sin Killer or The Wandering Hill, I suggest you read at least The Sin Killer to get a sense of the characters before reading this book. Otherwise, this will probably seem like a dull two star book.
