Antépisode de Lonesome Dove. Les talents de conteur de McMurtry sont intacts et plusieurs scènes sont si adroitement dépeintes qu’on croirait voir un film. Il est agréable de retrouver Gus et Call, même s’ils y sont un peu trop passifs à mon goût. C’est également un roman beaucoup plus violent que Lonesome Dove: les cœurs sensibles préféreront s’abstenir. La finale est étrange et un peu décevante, mais dans l’ensemble c’est un bon western, bien qu’une ligue en-dessous du classique qui a lancé la série.

I haven’t seen the Lonesome Dove television series nor have I read the first two books in this series. I chose to approach the series with the earliest book in the storyline and I felt it was great. Interesting. Well-written. Continuously engaging plot development. Great characters. Sadness. Intrigue. An appreciation for living in the present. I’m really excited about moving on to Comanche Moon but I have some other things to get through first. Thinking I’m going to love this series after this start. If you haven’t read it; I would.
