It’s February 1976, and Odessa, Texas, stands on the cusp
of the next great oil boom. While the town’s men embrace the
coming prosperity, its women intimately know and fear the
violence that always seems to follow. Valentine is a haunting
exploration of the intersections of violence and race, class and
region in a story that plumbs the depths of darkness and fear,
yet offers a window into beauty and hope.
Characters: 92. Amazon rating: 4 stars. Genre: Fiction.
