Overview
From the visionary author of Milk Fed and The Pisces, a darkly funny novel about grief and a āmagical tale of survivalā (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
In Melissa Broderās astonishingly profound new novel, a woman arrives alone at a Best Western seeking respite from an emptiness that plagues her. She has fled to the California high desert to escape a cloud of sorrowāfor both her father in the ICU and a husband whose illness is worsening. What the motel provides, however, is not peace but a path discovered on a nearby hike.
Out along the sun-scorched trail, the narrator encounters a towering cactus whose size and shape mean it should not exist in California. Yet the cactus is there, with a gash through its side that beckons like a familiar door. So she enters it. What awaits her inside this mystical succulent sets her on a journey at once desolate and rich, hilarious, and poignant.
Death Valley is Melissa Broder at her most imaginative, most universal, and finest, and is āa journey unlike any youāve read beforeā (Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, author of Friday Black).
