Twenty years after her boyfriend Joe Tasker's death on Everest's Northeast Ridge, Coffey writes this sad yet somehow ecstatic book about what such tragedies mean to the loved ones of mountaineers. She traveled widely and spoke to a great many people—wives, husbands, children, parents, and the climbers themselves. It's very moving stuff, and the book raises basic issues about extreme adventure and the risks it entails. Do these risk takers have a right? Wisely, Coffey doesn't try to answer the question. She just goes on telling stories, filling the book with them—tragic, heroic, compelling, exalting.
