Larry McMurtry meets A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This is Sibley’s best yet — a rollicking screwball comedy with a heart as big as Texas. — Steven L. Davis, Author, Past President, Texas Institute of Letters “A rousing success! Writing about an entire village and the surrounding ranches – and doing both extremely well. I figured this would be “funny” going into it but was honestly surprised about how damn hilarious it was. A sparkling comedic romp. Writing about South Texas, especially in the ranch scenes, was incredibly moving. You really brought to life that world in so many ways – beautiful writing and wonderful observations. Pete’s death scene was a masterpiece – not so much for the scene itself, which is brilliantly written, but for how all of the other great descriptions you have of the land and the ranch work lead very naturally up to that moment, and how it completes the portrait you’d been creating. Really well done. It was all so much damn fun to read! I did come to feel that there was a bit of a spell cast over the town, a la “Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Thinking about the love triangle reminds me a tiny bit of McMurtry’s Leaving Cheyenne. I was also thinking about your connection to McMurtry because you write so well of Rita Blanca, just as he wrote of Archer City. there’s a real kinship there between you and him and these books you’ve created. I bet he would’ve loved reading this.”
