Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Moving On is a big, powerful novel about men and women in the American West. 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, one of Larry McMurtry's most unforgettable characters. Patsy — young, beautiful, with a sharp tongue and an irresistible charm — and her shiftless husband, Jim, are adrift in the West. Patsy moves through affairs of the heart like small towns — there's Pete, the rodeo clown, and Hank, the graduate student, and others — always in search of the life that seems ever receding around the next bend. Peopled with a riotously colorful cast of highbrows, cowpokes, and rodeo queens, in its wry humor, tenderness, and epic panorama, Moving On is a celebration of our land by one of America's best-loved authors. Moving On is vintage McMurtry. Synopsis:Tender and humorous, Moving On is an epic journey through America's West in the 1960s, fueled by a woman's restlessness to find the life waiting around the next bend. In this powerful novel, McMurtry delves into the heart of Patsy Carpenter, a young, sharp-tongued charmer. Deftly intertwined among Patsy's adultery and recklessness is a colorful cast and, as always, McMurtry's wit and compassion.
