Cities Of The Plain

In a lovely and terrible landscape of natural beauty and impending loss we find John Grady; a young cowboy of the old school, trusted by men and horses, and a fragile young woman, whose salvation becomes his obsession . . .

McCarthy makes the sweeping plains a miracle, but can also elevate the patching of a worn-out tyre into something unforgettable. From the pouring of a cup of coffee to a lover's kiss, nothing goes unnoticed. This haunting, deeply felt novel completes one of the literary masterworks of the 1990s.
