The Desert Rose by Larry Mcmurtry
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Lonesome Dove and Terms of Endearment.
Warm and funny. . The real triumph of the book is Harmony herself, an unabashed romantic whose optimism and tenderness refuse to wilt in this arid, unromantic setting . . . McMurtry can transform ordinary words into highly lyrical, poetic passages . . . and presents human dramas with a sympathy and compassion that make us care about his characters in ways that most novelists can't * The Los Angeles Times *
Sad and sweet yet rigorously unsentimental. Mr McMurtry has the power to clutch the heart and also somehow to exhilarate * New Yorker *
The astounding thing about Harmony . . . is that she really does have a heart of gold, and despite everything, she is wholly believable, oddly moving, even lovable * Publishers Weekly *
It is quite impossible not to fall in love with Harmony while reading The Desert Rose. . . It is unquestionably one of his best novels . . . The Desert Rose is, in a quite unassuming way, a beautiful little book * The Washington Post Book World *
