Part epic of Texas, part classic coming-of-age story, part unflinching portrait
of the bloody price of power, The Son is an utterly transporting novel that maps
the legacy of violence in the American West through the lives of the McCullough
s, an ambitious family as resilient and dangerous as the land they claim. Love,
honour, children are sacrificed in the name of ambition, as the family becomes o
ne of the richest powers in Texas, a dynasty of unsurpassed wealth and privilege
. Yet, like all empires, the McCulloughs must eventually face the consequences o
f their choices.
