Valencia and Valentine by Suzi Kraus
2019 Earphones Award review here
Valencia, a timid debt collector with crippling OCD, is afraid of many things, but the two that scare her most are flying and turning thirty-five.
Mrs. Valentine is an eccentric old woman desperate for company, so she’s thrilled when the new cleaning girl provides a listening ear for her life’s story—a tale of storybook love and incredible adventures around the world with her husband before his mysterious and sudden disappearance.
The stories of Valencia and Mrs. Valentine, both performed by Metzger, may at first appear to have nothing in common…but then again, nothing in life is as straightforward as it seems.
