The book is translated from the Spanish, and I couldn't really get engaged with the characters. I didn't find the plot to be interesting, and it's an awful long book to have such a sketchy plot. ( )
Gamboa's talent at cultivating intrigue and the extravagant energy of his stories make him compulsive reading. This is international noir of the most ambitious kind. Add Gamboa to the ranks of Javier Marias, Patrick Modiano, and Juan Gabriel Vasquez. "[Return to the Dark Valley is] a swirling kaleidoscope of a novel...that speaks to the terror and dislocation of the age." Prix et récompenses
"Manuela Beltr?, a poet haunted by a troubled childhood, is bent on revenge for the wrongs she suffered at the hands of her mother's lover. Her vendetta will draw together a cast of enigmatic characters, the inhabitants of Gamboa's 'dark valley.' There is Tertullian, an Argentine who claims to be the Pope's son, ready to consort to extreme methods to create a harmonious society. There is Ferdinand Palacios, a Colombian priest with a dark paramilitary past now confronted with his guilt. Then there are Juana and 'the consul,' united in a complex relationship based on desire, need, and pain. Finally, there's Arthur Rimbaud, the precocious, brilliant poet whose dramatic life story plays a central role in this kaleidoscopic tale." -- Taken from inner cover.
