Summary
In The Crossing, Cormac McCarthy fulfills the promise of All the Pretty Horses and at the same time give us a work that is darker and more visionary, a novel with the unstoppable momentum of a classic western and the elegaic power of a lost American myth. In the late 1930s, sixteen-year-old Billy Parham captures a she-wolf that has been marauding his family's ranch. But instead of killing it, he decides to take it back to the mountains of Mexico. With that crossing, he begins an arduous and often dreamlike journey into a country where men meet ghosts and violence strikes as suddenly as heat-lightning--a world where there is no order 'save that which death has put there.' An essential novel by any measure, The Crossing is luminous and appalling, a book that touches, stops, and starts the heart and mind at once.

If you like feel good books with happy endings….McCarthy is not for you! My heart is in my mouth through all of his books, praying that what I think is going to happen, doesn’t. It inevitably does! Still a beautifully written and narrated piece of literature and not completely without humour. I loved it despite listening behind the couch with my hands over my eyes.

Excellent, engaging story - really, stories within stories. Great character development and believeable. Great narrator - makes you want to just keep listening - even when there is work to do!

Very tough story lines but the author introduses so much poignant philosophy that he ties it all together
