'Wonder Valley': A terrific novel about hope and transience

Ivy Pochoda is often referred to as a rising star in contemporary literary fiction, and judging by “Wonder Valley” (Ecco, $26.99), it’s easy to see why. Her writing is rich and original and sometimes breathtaking in its eloquence. While the novel, her third, is far from a perfect realization of its author’s obvious potential, this is a terrific book.
