Summary

Four generations of teenage men of the Kimberley undergo life-changing experiences. In 1916, Billy Noakes flees to a remote valley with a Bunuba woman who becomes his life partner. In 1943, their twin sons dubbed Bob and Two Bob leave the valley after a traumatic event. In 1989, Broome teenager Andy Jirroo must farewell his great love, Milly. In 2005, Andy and Milly's son, Dancer, returns to the valley where his great-grandfather had left a precious inheritance. The Valley is a ripping yarn, an uplifting intergenerational tale, and a captivating look into a little known world where things aren't always what they seem
