Book summaryMolly is faced with the choice of marrying Gideon, a rancher, or Johnny, a cowboy. Instead, she marries Eddie, an oil-rig worker who abuses her. She has two sons--one by Gideon and one by Johnny--both of whom she loses in World War II. The novel is told in three parts: Gideon relates their young adulthood, Molly tells of raising the children and her relationships with the men, and Johnny closes the story. Media reviews"McMurtry is psychologically precise in tracing this three-sided relationship. Odd as the roots of this friendship may seem, there's enduring consideration and a feeling in it. The story takes so many years to tell because feelings that last a lifetime are the subject." |
