She has fled to the California high desert to escape a cloud of sorrow-for 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 a journey unlike any youve read before (Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, author of Friday Black).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972286087456,"sku":"NEW1668024845","price":13.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71SqjffMy3L.jpg?v=1783799207","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/death-valley-a-novel-1668024845","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
