All the Pretty Horses – Cormac McCarthy (1992)

The first novel in McCarthy’s Border Trilogy, All the Pretty Horses is a lyrical yet gritty coming-of-age Western that follows John Grady Cole, a 16-year-old Texan who flees to Mexico in 1949 with his friend Lacey Rawlins after his family ranch is sold. Their journey—filled with horse-breaking, romance, and violent reckonings—becomes a meditation on honor, loss, and the vanishing frontier.
