The acclaimed novel that inspired the Academy Award-winning film, from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Lonesome Dove.

‘McMurtry is one of our best, and Terms of Endearment is one of his finest’ – Los Angeles Times

In this acclaimed novel that inspired the Academy Award-winning film, Pulitzer Prize-winner Larry McMurtry created two characters who won the hearts of readers and film-goers everywhere: Aurora Greenway and her daughter, Emma.

Aurora is the kind of woman who makes the whole world orbit around her, including a string of devoted suitors. Widowed and overprotective of her daughter, Aurora has life under control until two enormous challenges are sent her way: Emma’s hasty marriage and subsequent battle with cancer.

Terms of Endearment is the story of an unforgettable mother and her feisty daughter and their struggle to find the courage and humour to live through life’s hazards – and to love each other as never before.

Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
