In the Shadow of the Mountain
あらすじ・解説
WINNER OF THE 2023 EDWARD STANFORD TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR
You don't conquer a mountain. You surrender to it one step at a time.
Peruvian climber Silvia Vasquez-Lavado spent a lifetime running away from trauma. As a child she suffered sexual abuse, and as an adult, she struggled with both her sexuality and addiction.
In spite of her private battles, Silvia climbed many of the world's greatest peaks. But she had yet to take on Everest.
In the Shadow of the Mountain tells Silvia's story of abuse, addiction and trauma and then how, in 2016, she gathered a party of six sexually abused girls, and together they began the two-week expedition to Everest Base Camp. It would become an ascent that would not only form unbreakable friendships, but one that would also help them confront their individual traumas.
Beautifully written and deeply moving, In the Shadow of the Mountain is a memoir of strength, compassion and honesty. With each step, Silvia understands that the secret to healing herself and to others is about accepting, not beating, her feelings. Not conquering, but surrendering to the mountain, just like trauma.
