Larry McMurtry 
Moving On: A Novel [EPUB ebook] 

Moving On anticipates Mc Murtry’s Terms of Endearment and explores the emotional journey of a young woman against a sprawling metropolis in 1970s Texas.

Larry Mc Murtry’s
Moving On, his epic first novel in the acclaimed Houston series, has long been considered a defining tale of “monumental honesty” worthy of great attention (
New York Times). Preceding
Terms of Endearment by five years, it is essential reading for anyone who appreciates the inherent genius of Mc Murtry’s late twentieth-century fiction.
Moving On centers on the life of Patsy Carpenter, one of his most beloved characters. After calmly finishing a Hershey bar alone in her car, a restless Patsy drives away from her lifeless marriage in search of a greater purpose. In “precise and lyrical prose” (
Boston Globe), Mc Murtry reveals the complex, colorful lives of Pete, the rodeo clown; high-spirited cowboy Sonny Shanks; and impassioned grad student Hank. A critical work of American literature that “presents human drama with sympathy and compassion” (
Los Angeles Times),
Moving On unfolds a tale of perseverance and emotional survival in the modern-day West.
