The New Valley: Novellas

From the author of The Great Glass Sea, three linked novellas set between the Virginias about men confronting love, loss, and personal demons.

Set in the hardscrabble hill country between the Virginias, The New Valley contains characters striving to forge new lives in the absence of those they have loved. Told in three varied and distinct voices—a soft-spoken middle-aged beef farmer struggling to hold himself together after his dad’s death; a health-obsessed single father desperate to control his reckless, overweight daughter; and a developmentally delayed man who falls in love with a married woman intent on using him in a scheme that will wound them both—each story explores survival, isolation, and the deep, consuming ache for human connection.

As the men battle against grief and solitude, their heartache leads them all to commit acts that will bring both ruin and salvation, in these tales “full of tenderness and looming menace” (The New York Times Book Review).

“Stark and haunting … Delivers great beauty” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“[Weil’s] language is exquisite, his sentences glorious… . Refreshing and engaging. ” —Ploughshares
