Description:
In this "remarkable first novel" (Boston Globe), Kate Wheeler "subtly questions how much is too much to sacrifice in a relationship" (Wall Street Journal). When Mountains Walked is the story of two parallel love affairs, years apart, set in remote and exotic places in the world. In the 1940s, Althea Baines follows her seismologist husband to the Indian subcontinent, where she awakens to a spirituality she never imagined and finds solace in a Hindu priest. Years later, her granddaughter Maggie follows her own husband to a canyon in Peru, where she falls in love with a revolutionary. The women's lives mirror each other throughout as each is swept up in the forces of passion that move them.
Expand description
Named a Best Young American Novelist by Granta, Wheeler "demonstrates her felicity of language, insight, and control" (Robert Stone) in a lush and compelling novel "assembled by a creator with a sure hand" (New York Times).
