The Wandering Hill, the second volume in Larry McMurtry's The Berrybender Narratives, retains the humour of the first instalment, Sin Killer, while establishing a more meditative mood. Picking up where Sin Killer left off, The Wandering Hill finds noble English family the Berrybenders waiting out the oncoming winter at a high plains trading post, delaying their hunting expedition through the frontier-era American west. Tight confines force the spirited, bickering Berrybenders to contend with one another, as well as an assortment of colourful attendants and raw trappers.
