May have a remainder mark. 242 pages. 9.00 x 6.50 x 0.80 in. 16.0 oz. Anticipating the onset of her later years, Maggie leaves behind her manipulative daughters and psychoanalyst lover to accompany her best friend, Connie, for one final fling, but a series of misadventures prompts their desperate, gun-toting journey to a Texas ranch. By the author of Folly and Glory. Maggie Clary is 60 years old, the manager of a prosperous company that supplies sound effects (loop groups) for movies. But despite three devoted daughters and an Italian psychiatrist lover, she's not feeling happy with the way things are going. She and her best friend, Connie, decide to have an adventure, hoping to get a new lease on life by driving from Hollywood to Texas to visit Maggie's ancient and eccentric Aunt Cooney on her chicken ranch. Of course, they find much more on their trip than an out-of-control old lady. [T]here's something here for everyone: An affectionate peek at the workers clinging to Hollywood's lowest rung; campy sex; drama on the highway; and canny insights into the dynamics of family and friendship. -- Kirkus  (09/15/2004) -- .McMurtry again displays his knack for compelling characters and plots.Aunt Cooney's brief appearance is among the high points of McMurtry's life-affirming tale. -- Publishers Weekly  (11/08/2004) -- McMurtry has too much affection for his characters--and too much writerly control--to reduce his tale to a randy romp. He hasn't knocked himself out on plotting.And yet--in spite of the potluck nature of Maggie and Connie's trials, the ultimate pointlessness of their road trip and the haphazard manner in which their adventures are brought to a conclusion--the language in which all this is told is appealingly confident and unforced. McMurtry has an instinct for the sort of seemingly humdrum everyday details that make his characters feel real and rooted ., and his ear for American idiom is assured. -- New York Times - Liesl Schillinger (01/02/2005).
