There’s a reason why some stories become timeless classics. They tend to feature truths about the human condition that resonate anew for each generation. Pulitzer-prize-winning author Larry McMurtry’s novel about an intense, difficult yet devoted mother-daughter relationship, marital troubles, and issues with lovers called TERMS OF ENDEARMENT, became a literary sensation in 1975.
