With simple clarity and enormous
emotional power, Christopher Davis tells a story of great love and great
tragedy. It is a story about AIDS and two young men who have it, a story
about their love and about what it is like for the young to die. But it
is also a story of flawless summer days and star lit nights, of mountain
lakes and blue-white Maine winters, a story of parents and children and
families and holidays, and of the tangled web of love and loss and loyalty
that is our life.
Beautifully written, with a poet's eye for the
singular detail, Valley of the Shadow is sad and funny and consoling,
a wise book of serene courage and extraordinary, crystal beauty.
