Roy & Lillie: A Love Story

by Loren D. Estleman Narrated by George Guidall

Overview

It has been said of five-time Spur Award winner Loren D. Estleman that even "Louis L'Amour looks down with envy" (Kirkus Reviews). Here Estleman applies his incomparable narrative panache to this novelization of a real-life romance that never was. Judge Roy Bean is an infamous arbiter of Old West justice. For years, he writes admiring letters to British stage actress Lillie Langtry, and she occasionally responds. But just as they are about to meet face-to-face, fate intervenes and keeps this oddball romance from blooming.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Clever. Entertaining. Imaginative. Humorous. Estleman does it again.” —True West Magazine

“This book, about Victorian England and the Old West, will captivate and entertain readers as he brings to life these so different characters as they bond across miles of land and ocean in a near perfect romance.” —San Angelo Standard Times

“The Estleman hallmark has always been the quality of the prose. After 60 or so books, that remains fresh, flavorful and worth the price.” —Kirkus Reviews

“I was introduced to Loren D. Estleman's work by the late Elmer Kelton, who still ranks near the top of my list of the best Texana writers. With Roy and Lillie, Estleman has placed himself pretty high on that same list.” —Dr. Jerry Lincecum, North Texas E-News
