running clinics. Margaret is a
photographer who ends up getting a job with the local paper. Their friends suggest a trip up Mount Kenya
and the couple agree even though Margaret has doubts about her abilities. She ends up being the slowest member of the
group and when a tragedy occurs she is blamed by all, even her husband. Their marriage will never be the same. They avoid talking about it and Margaret develops
an attraction for her coworker. Anita
Shreve delves into human emotion and uses her personal experiences in Kenya to
bring the country to life. Check out A Change in Altitude @ the library!
