Author Bio
In this sequel to Terms of Endearment, Aurora Greenway consoles herself about her elderly boyfriend's impotence and her grandchildren.
McMurtry takes us deep into the heart of Texas, and deep into the heart of one of the most memorable characters of our time—along with her family, friends, and lovers—in a tale of affectionate wit, bittersweet tenderness, and the unexpected turns that life can take.
This is Larry McMurtry at his very best: warm, compassionate, full of comic invention, an author so attuned to the feelings, needs, and desires of his characters that they possess a reality unique in American fiction. (From the publisher.)
The 1996 film version starred Shirley MacLaine, Bill Paxton, and Juliette Lewis.
