Synopsis"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.

Iffy
I am big fan of McMurtry, however, this book left me blah from the start. I seemed as lost as the characters. I realize many people who "function" in this fashion, however, I don't think I could hand 800 pages of weeping and neurosis. Might make it thru by reading 200 pages at a time - but really, I found there are better McMurtry books to read. I do realize how others could really relate to the book - if you do, enjoy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
