Recovery Review

I'm back with a review of Where The Mountain Casts Its Shadow: the dark side of extreme adventure. by Maria Coffey

One word summary: intense.
This book was about how death due to extreme mountain climbing affects the loved ones (mothers, fathers, wives, children)

I like the variety of writing styles - where the first person changes and its not just Maria telling the stories. She herself was dating a climber when he died on one of the largest climbs in the world.

Crazy. Recommend - though not if you are sad or in a crummy relationship.
