Why read it?
1 author picked The White Road as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Lotz's book is an intense character study, painting a portrait of her protagonist in masterful strokes.
Simon Newman is complex – simultaneously thrill-seeking but lazy, ambitious but anxious, traumatized but desperate to hide his weakness.
He has no business searching for bodies in the notoriously dangerous Cwm Pots, and he takes away exactly the wrong lessons from his survival. He certainly has no business on Mount Everest, and knows it. But now he's haunted by the (possibly literal) ghosts of his own bad choices, and he's in too deep now.
This book is a journey in its own right.
From T.L.'s list on to read instead of going out in the elements.
