The Lowest Valley

De: P.J. Bell

Narrado por: Steven Gillen

In Coyote Canyon, in Southern California, near the Arizona border, Lile Foster owns and operates a diner. He lives on the premises with his daughter, Karina, and his cook, Cecilia Hall. During an unrelenting monsoon, these three people and several others—a worldly old sports agent and his promising client, a personal assistant returning from a short holiday spent with a secret lover, a young hoodlum from New York wanted by the police, and a family of four making their way to San Diego to enjoy the fantastic beaches there—must do their best to survive the elements, and each other.

Recommended to fans of rural settings, 1950s America, or character-driven plots.

Short little character driven story

It's a low stakes slice of life story. The narrator is not my favorite, but he's tolerable after a chapter or two. There is no real climax, but it's okay, the story doesn't need one. Set in the 1950's, so there are views that are common from the 1950's.
