At sixty-six, Enrique Caballero Peraza accepts an unexpected invitation to travel to Nepal and climb Ama Dablam. What begins as a late-life adventure becomes something far stranger after an accident in the mountains leads him to a hidden monastery where time obeys different laws.
There, Enrique discovers the child he once was, an impossible form of rejuvenation, and a truth that will divide his life forever: returning does not always mean coming back.
The One Who Learned to Stay is a contemporary mystical realism novel about identity, detachment, bilocation, spiritual awakening, and the mystery of becoming more than one self without ceasing to be whole.
