My second Yann Martel book after the seminal Life of Pi, which I adored. It's about loss and grief, and how people across time, tied by a common thread, deal with them in their lifetimes. As is with Martel, the high mountains, which in fact are not even mountains, are an allegory to that thread that binds their grief. Chapters 2 and 3 spoke more to me, and I'm glad I persisted after the relatively lackluster Chapter 1.
