Rick Bass brings a lyrical lushness to the harsh backdrop of West Texas in his masterfully crafted fourth novel. All the Land to Hold Us (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) is a sweeping tale of those who live on the desert's edge, where riches can all be found and lost again in an instant. A vivid portrait of a fierce place and the inimitable characters that possess the capacity to adapt to and also despoil it, the novel boasts all the hallmarks of Bass's most enduring work — human longing and greed, nature endangered, and the possibility for redemption are all writ large on his desert canvas.
