About the book
In 1949, after his grandfather's death, sixteen-year-old John Grady Cole learns that the family ranch in San Angelo, Texas, is to be sold. Heir to generations of Texas ranchers and now cut off from the life he wanted, he rides south into Mexico with his best friend, Lacey Rawlins, hoping to work as cowboys, and on the way they fall in with a younger boy, Jimmy Blevins, whose horse looks far too fine to be his. In Mexico, John Grady finds work breaking horses at a ranch and falls for the owner's daughter, Alejandra. Cormac McCarthy's novel opens the Border Trilogy and won the National Book Award as well as the National Book Critics Circle Award.
