True Grit: A Novel
by Charles Portis
Charles Portis's True Grit is a lean, wickedly funny revenge western narrated by one of the great voices in American fiction: Mattie Ross, a fourteen-year-old who hires a one-eyed marshal to hunt the man who killed her father and refuses, ever, to be left behind.
