Annapurna

Summary

When Livy receives a package containing the ashes of her best friend, she knows she must return to the place Mo loved best to honor her memory. Livy travels to Kathmandu and the mountain towns of Nepal, and to the past, along with the three other original members of the trek. As they navigate the trail during harsh winter conditions, Livy is forced to confront painful memories and the revelation of long buried secrets, putting her life—and her whole concept of self—on the
line. She must finally face the mystery that’s haunted her all these years: the circumstances surrounding her best friend’s death.

“Annapurna carries some of the rare air of the Himalayas in its prose, a novel that’s layered, large, and heady with the complex and overlapping emotions of desire, guilt, love, rage, and complicity. Meg Serino is a wonderful new writer; her debut novel is thrilling.”—Lauren Groff, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Vaster Wilds
