New York Times Book Review: "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." |

| Details: |
Molly 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. |
