Onverwacht een van de mooiste boeken die ik ooit gelezen heb. Ik werd een beetje verliefd op de bergen ondanks dat ik nog nooit op een gestaan heb.

Didn’t really know what to expect but the book surprised me nicely. Divided into three parts, it chronicles the life of the protagonist Pietro — first his childhood, then his early adulthood when he starts to discover himself as well as re-embrace the family he strayed away from, and finally his slightly later adulthood when he’s already built his world. All of these stages are explored through Pietro’s ties to the mountains, to his father as he spends time with him in the mountains, and to his childhood friend who never leaves the mountains. It’s beautiful how the events from outside the mountains barely interfere.
Lots of lovely nature descriptions and a captivating exploration of Pietro’s character and the two central relationships. A melancholy but beautiful read.

Stavo imparando che cosa succede a uno che va via: che gli altri continuano a vivere senza di lui.
Questo libro mi ha… annoiato. Ecco, non è stato horrible, ma, non so, non ho potuto connettermi bene con lui. Per me, sento che non aveva molto per dargli interesse. Ammetto, all’inizio (e bene nel mezzo) aspettavo che la storia diventasse una su due amici che diventano amanti, ma è solo una di un tipo solito e il suo amico con uno scenario di montagna. Anche è un po’ triste,
