Into the Valley

Set against the early days of 1967 in the American West, Ruth Galm's debut novel follows a young woman named B as she navigates a tense and uncertain journey through a vast, anonymous landscape. Caught between generations, her own mounting anxiety, and her impulsive actions, her travels bring her into contact with a diverse cast of characters as she unravels both physically and emotionally. Poetic and contemplative, the story explores themes of identity, rebellion, and the search for belonging.
