About this book
The Crossing is the seventh novel by author Cormac McCarthy, and the second in The Border Trilogy, after All The Pretty Horses. The Crossing, takes place before and during the Second World War and focuses on teenage cowboy Billy Parham and his family, following Parham on a journey to return a she-wolf to her home in the northern Mexican mountains. The novel is noted as more melancholic than All the Pretty Horses, although not as dark as McCarthy's previous work.
