My Review
'Us Walkers've got secrets an' lies in our blood. I'm not sayin' that's a good thing or a bad thing, it's just how we are. We keep things close...
'You're the last one... The last one, an' the first one not caught up in the secrets an' lies...At least not till now.'
The Valley is a multi generation epic seeded in blood spilled and seeped into an unforgiving land and then shrouded in secrecy.
Set predominately in Western Australia's Kimberley region, They Valley tells a powerful story of family, love, loss, and what it means to find yourself.
For Two Bob Walker, the son of a white man and Aboriginal woman his land and family are everything, but secrets have haunted him for a generation or more.
When his son in-law Andy and Grandson Dancer find there way back to him from the big smoke, the ghosts in the closet unearth a painful past.
Distinctly Australian, The Valley is part family drama, part crime and all journey and discovery, full of unique characters and an underlying tension that tightens and tightens until a story from Two Bob releases it all.
Note. I recommended reading The Valley in paperback to easily access the frequently-flipped to Family Tree, which was useful in the early and middle stages of the book.
