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. more

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Sep-03-2006; 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.

1/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Dec-31-2003; Another Berrybender Bomb; This book is the third in the Berrybender series and hopefully the last. I can hardly believe that the same man who wrote Lonesome Dove wrote this loser! Did he hire a ghost writer to do this mess? It is the worst of the series.
