Title: By Sorrow's River Subtitle: Volume 3 of the Berrybender Narratives Author: Larry McMurtry Narrator: Alfred Molina Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-03 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 199 votes Genres: Fiction, Historical Publisher's Summary: By Sorrow's River continues the Berrybender party's trail across the endless Great Plains of the West toward Santa Fe, where those lucky enough to survive the journey intend to spend the winter. Along the way, Tasmin, whose husband, Jim Snow, has moved out to scout ahead, falls in love with Pomp Charbonneau, only to see him killed by the ruthless commander of the Spanish troops. The Berrybenders meet up with a vast cast of characters from the history of the West: Kit Carson, the famous scout; Le Partezon, the fearsome Sioux war chief; The Ear Taker, an Indian whose specialty is creeping up on people while they are asleep and slicing an ear off with a sharp knife; two aristocratic Frenchmen whose eccentric aim is to cross the Great Plains by hot air balloon; a party of slavers led by the cowardly but bloodthirsty Obregon; a band of raiding Pawnee; and many other astonishing characters who prove that the rolling, grassy plains are not as empty as they look. Critic Reviews: "An exciting, humorous, but often heartbreaking story that unfolds across magnificent, dangerous and often deadly landscapes." (Booklist)
