Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Soon to be a major film directed by and starring Tommy Lee Jones and costarring Meryl Streep, Hilary Swank, and John Lithgow, this classic Western novel captures the devastating realities of early Pioneers in the American West through the eyes of one extraordinary woman.
The Homesman celebrates the stories we hear nothing about: the brave women whose hearts and minds were broken by a life of bitter hardship. A âhomesmanâ must be found to escort a handful of them back East to a sanitarium. When none of the countyâs men steps up, the job falls to Mary Bee Cuddyâex-teacher, spinster, indomitable, and resourceful. Brave as she is, Mary Bee knows she cannot succeed alone. The only companion she can find is the low-life claim jumper George Briggs. Thus begins a trek east, against the tide of colonization, against hardship, Indian attacks, ice storms, and lonelinessâa timeless classic told in a series of tough, fast-paced adventures.
In an unprecedented sweep, Glendon Swarthoutâs novel won both the Western Writers of Americaâs Spur Award and the Western Heritage Wrangler Award. A new afterword by the authorâs son Miles Swarthout tells of his parents Glendon and Kathrynâs discovery of and research into the lives of the oft-forgotten frontier women who make The Homesman as moving and believable as it is unforgettable.
