John Grady Cole is the last bewildered survivor of many generations of Texas
ranchers. Finding himself cut off from the only life he has ever wanted, he sets
out for Mexico with his friend Lacey Rawlins. Befriending a third boy on the
way, they find a country beyond their imagining: barren and beautiful, rugged
yet cruelly civilised; a place where dreams are paid for in blood. The first
volume in the legendary Border Trilogy, All the Pretty Horses is a magnificent
parable of responsibility, revenge and survival.
