I enjoyed this book so much I almost didn't post it. But I really think I'd like to share it with other readers.
It's a sweet, sad tale of three wonderfully-drawn McMurtry characters, spanning most of the lifetimes of two men and a woman in central Texas in the mid-20th century. (The Cheyenne reference is to a song, not a geographical mix-up.)
The final section, as the characters move toward the inevitable ending, is blessed with McMurtry's pitch-perfect ear for the dialogue between two men who have spent a lifetime as friends without ever wearing down the differences between them.
A real treasure.
