Philipp Meyer Son Book

Product description from producer

Texas 1849. The house where thirteen-year-old Eli McCullough lives is invaded by a band of Comanches who kill his relatives, burn his property, and take him prisoner. For three years of life among the Indians, the boy has to them soul and almost forgets about his origins. But when the tribe is wiped out by an epidemic, Eli returns to the whites. . . . Eli's cruelty and pragmatism are reflected in the fates of representatives of future generations of McCulloughs. Love, honor, children - everything is given up to ambition when this family becomes one of the most powerful in Texas. But like all powerful dynasties, this family must face the consequences of their choices at some point. A perfect piece of work... soul-stirring. Only in the most historical novels do we feel both the breath of the past and our own complicity in the sins of our ancestors. Now added to these books is Meyer's The Son.
