5.0 out of 5 stars
Not your typical romance....,

This review is from: White (Paperback)
This is not usually my genre, but a fascination with Everest led me to this novel. It took me to the mountain, wove a tapestry of characters that I felt I knew and told a love story that was both moving and powerful. The fact that the central character was a woman chasing her demons and not having to act like a man to prove her strength was refreshing. I have read real accounts of treks to Everest and this novel was not short on the reality of the challenges and the excitement of climbing Chomolungma - the mother goddess of the Earth. Good story.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Very enjoyable,

I really like Rosie Thomas as an author because she picks unqiue and exotic locations to set the novels in and this one is no exception. Not a climber myself, but have always been interested in reading about it and Everest and have read several non-fiction accounts.
The situations and the descriptions of Kathmandu and Everest seem realistic to me (just in comparison to stories from friends who have been there and other readings). My only complaint about the book is that the will they get together or not between Finch and Sam got a little tiresome....of course I was reading this on an overnight flight so I may have been a little grouchy to begin with!
