The author clearly knows the French Alps well and provides a scenic backdrop of outstanding beauty.
I loved the central characters, Steve Carson and Simone Carrier, and the complexities of a chance meeting turning into something very special.
I also loved the breathtaking scenes on Mount Blanc as Steve and his rival, Pascal, battled to reach new heights. The two Alpinists competing for more than the summit of a mountain.
Chamonix is brought to life as an enticing location and then Provence, where Simone's dark secret is revealed in the person of Monique, another beautifully drawn character.
The ending came too soon, with a totally unexpected denouement.
