ADVANCE PRAISE FOR DEATH VALLEY

"A journey unlike any you've read before. Death Valley is a beautifully wild leap into the mysterious desert that is grief." -Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, author of Chain-Gang All-Stars and Friday Black

"I've never read a novel that portrays grief quite like Death Valley. Melissa Broder captures both the punishing ordinariness of loss while also showing us how extraordinary it is to have been here at all.
