The Desert Rose : A Novel

Editorial Reviews
Review
The Washington Post Book World

Beautiful....Unquestionably one of [McMurtry's] best novels.

The New Yorker

Sad and sweet yet rigorously unsentimental. Mr. McMurtry has the power to clutch the heart and also somehow to exhilarate.

Los Angeles Times

Warm and funny...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.
