Why read it?

1 author picked White as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

While you share every painful, astounding step, you’re aching for them to put their emotional baggage down, stop dwelling on the past, and instead seize the future. Great armchair adventuring, a complicated romance, and no easy answers. 

From Roz's list on high-altitude mountaineering.
