Heathen Valley Paperback - 2004

by Romulus Linney

With a quiet, muscular violence and biblical cadence that readers of Cormac McCarthy will recognize, Linney takes readers into the 1850s, where an idealistic bishop from New England and a life-whipped, sorrowful transient named Starns struggle to win souls and transform the valley.


First line

THE DEW leans heavy on the grass, pressing it down.
