Initial Impressions: Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry-June/July 2021

[Sue]

Now I understand why it is so loved!

[Diane, "Miss Scarlett"]

The remarkable thing about the friendship between Gus and Call was that they were completely different in their methods, but exactly the same in deep down goodness of heart. I thought the real love story here was between those two men.

[Laura, "The Tall Woman"]

Oh absolutely, diane, that was the love story. Everything else was bonus.

[Cathrine ☯️]

Republicans and Democrats could take a few lessons from Gus and Call.

[Sue]

Call was the more inward man and Gus was the more extrovert, but they did care about each other, greatly. They were grouchy together like the hackneyed old married couple.
