Also known as: Valerie a týden divu
Description: A thief awakens 13-year-old Valerie, taking earrings left to her by her mother. By morning, the earrings have been returned, Valerie’s first period has begun, and a troupe and a missionary have arrived in her 19th-century town. The thief is Orick; he reports to a cloaked constable who may also be the missionary.
Attention to sexuality is everywhere: Valerie’s grandmother’s puritanical nature, the missionary’s sermon to the town’s virgins, the parish priest’s attempt to seduce Valerie, and lusty adults at play. Valerie’s nascent sexuality puts her in great danger.
Can she navigate the passage from innocence to experience, a route teaming with vampires, a murderer, and an obscure family tree?
