There is no surprise ending to this story, no magical solution to the harsh realities of life in West Texas. The reading of this novel lies not in what happens next but in the unfolding depth of a strong character and the clear picture of a time and a place.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Elmer Kelton does not write Westerns. He writes fine novels set in the West. Here a reader meets flesh-and-blood people of an earlier time, in a story that will grab and hold you from the first to the last page.” ―Dee Brown, author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee on The Time It Never Rained
“The Time It Never Rained is not just one of the best novels ever written by a Texan. It is one of the treasures of American literature...” ―John Erickson, author of The Devil in Texas and the "Hank the Cowdog" series
“...one of the dozen or so best novels written by an American in this century.” ―Jon Tuska, editor of The American West in Fiction on The Time It Never Rained
