Review of 'Le otto montagne' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

You like mountains? You'll like this book. I have never related more to a story that describes what it's like to enjoy hiking, how being at mountains makes you feel whole and how you leave the world behind the moment you reach that high ground. The story is hardbreaking, the characters people you know and traits you hate about them, but wish you could be the same.
