In a landscape that will exist only for a matter of days, Valentine-a haunting and erotic novel of love lost and found-unfolds to reveal the intricacies of the human heart.
In South Florida, a hurricane alert waylays a journalist in the coastal town of Piersall. This safe harbor hosts an unlikely reunion, as he miraculously finds himself stranded with a lost love. This chance encounter is merely the first in a chain of events that will again link these estranged lovers to one another-inhabiting their temporal refuge with a seemingly infinite passion-and to a conjunction of curious passages that appear to suggest that the nature of their love may not be governed by chance alone, but by the ever-bending rules of the imagination-both their own and those of their peculiar universe.
Poignant, erotic and unsentimental, Valentine is a heartfelt token of love from a prodigiously gifted writer whom The Wall Street Journal proclaims, "Brings to mind...Graham Greene, Robert Stone and Ward Just."
