Lehmann-Haupt, Christopher, New York Times: "[O]ne laughs at the slapstick, one weeps at the maudlin, and one likes all of McMurtry's characters, no matter how delicately or broadly they are drawn." |

Emma Horton from MOVING ON reappears in this novel, but she is dying of cancer. Her mother, Aurora Greenway, is fending off suitors. This book was made into the 1983 feature film starring Shirley MacLaine as Aurora, Jack Nicholson (as a composite of Aurora's several suitors), Debra Winger as Emma, and Jeff Daniels as Emma's husband Flap. The movie simplified the story somewhat and toned down Aurora's feisty, cantankerous character. |
