À propos de cet audio
Lord and Lady Berrybender have abandoned their palatial home in England to explore the frontier and to broaden the horizons of their children, who include Tasmin, a budding young woman of grit, beauty, and determination, her vivacious and difficult sister, and her brother.
As they journey by rough stages up the Missouri River, they meet with all the dangers, difficulties, temptations, and awesome natural scenery of the untamed West.
At the very core of the story is Tasmin's fast-developing relationship with Jim Snow, frontiersman, ferocious Indian fighter, and part-time preacher. Known up and down the Missouri as "the Sin Killer," he's the handsome, silent Westerner who eventually captures her heart.
Against the immense backdrop of the American West, Larry McMurtry tracks this engaging family as they make their way up the great river, surviving attacks, discomfort, savage weather, and natural disaster. Sin Killer is an adventure story full of incident, and suspense, as well as a charming love story between a headstrong and aristocratic young Englishwoman and the stubborn, shy, and very American Jim Snow. As big as the West itself, this is the kind of story that only Larry McMurtry can write.

Awesome story of the American frontier
This is my review for all of Larry McMurtry's Berrybender Narratives.
McMurtry paints us a vivid picture of the American West in the time of powder and ball. The whole of Berrybender clan are both loveable and frustratingly naive to the ways of the frontier, and are overall great characters to read about. Jim Snow is our great frontiersman who keeps the cast alive (most of the time) and always moving forward, and is even often portrayed as the mentor to the famed Kit Carson. That's right, in classic McMurtry fashion there are guest appearances from real historical figures. Overall this series is a joy to read and will be well received by fans of Lonesome dove.
