It's all true

Walking Dunes is a true story. I lived next door to "David" as a child. I don't remember Sandra Scofield but she had to have been there. This book captures life in West Texas like no other.

too many unpleasant characters

Not as good as later book, More than Allies, or earlier Gringa, because there are too many unsympathetic characters, including the main character. Too many characters in general for a short novel, but great attention to detail and a nice change from the usual sappy look at the fifties
