Immerse yourself in the gritty American Frontier in Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry. Read by actor Will Patton, with an exclusive foreword by Yellowstone co-creator Taylor Sheridan.

A powerful, triumphant tribute to the American West and a masterful epic from the screenwriter of Brokeback Mountain.

This is the story of a group of audacious cowboys on a perilous cattle drive across the sprawling wilderness, from Texas to Montana. Bound by duty and hardened by the relentless frontier, their shared journey captures the enduring spirit of the West.

Lonesome Dove is more than an adventure, and deeper than a love story. It is the ultimate saga of the American West, with an unforgettable cast of heroes and outlaws and a narrative that is as unflinching as it is captivating. For fans of authentic Western Americana, McMurtry pulls you straight into the heart of 19th-century America – a world of triumph, betrayal, and survival.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

Flush with authenticity
It’s like the gift of reading itself (Geoff Dyer)
An epic journey pitching men against nature, hostile Comanches and outlaws, played out against huge, inhospitable landscapes. You can feel the dust and the heat, and smell the sweat and the hides. The plotting and pacing never falters . . . Everyone should read it (Clare Chambers)
