A review by siria
Valeria's Last Stand by Marc Fitten

3.0

This is a charming little book—there's nothing ground-breaking about it, but it was still an enjoyable read. Set in a forgotten village in Hungary just after the fall of Communism, Valeria's Last Stand is a story about a bawdy, light-hearted love rectangle between four older people. For those of you UK/Irish out there, it reminded me quite a bit of Last of the Summer Wine, except with more explicit sexual references. Largely forgettable (though I did like the fact that the women in this book all got names, while the men were referred to only by epithets!), but fun.
