When twenty-two-year-old Nellie Courtright and her teenage brother Jackson are unexpectedly orphaned by their father’s suicide on his new and unprosperous ranch, they make their way to the nearby town of Rita Blanca, where Jackson manages to secure a job as a sheriff's deputy, while Nellie, ever resourceful, becomes the town’s telegrapher. Together, they inadvertently put Rita Blanca on the map when young Jackson succeeds in shooting down all six of the ferocious Yazee brothers in a gunfight that brings him lifelong fame, but which he can never repeat because his success came purely out of luck. Good, easy read, as usual. Kind of a romp through the old West as young woman (who loves to copulate) runs into the Earp family, Billy the Kid, Buffalo Bill, Doc Holliday and more. They all learn straight up that she is not to be messed with. Did not sense any deep message in this book. Think McMurtry just wanted to have fun. I chuckled more than once. As usual, I also became attached to characters, especially our narrator. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Also, I miss Mc Murtry's attention to detail that I liked so much in Lonesome Dove. ( )
