A Midlife Night's Dream A story of love, loss, and letting go-on the roof of the world. Ivo is a Swiss alpinist who makes a living working as a translator for the Bhutanese government, moving between distant valleys and remote communities. He met the love of his life-Iris, a British surgeon-eleven years before in Nepal, Upper Mustang. He, restless and drawn to extreme summits. She, untameable and seeking meaning through her work in a remote Himalayan clinic. After a few years together, their fates are suddenly torn apart by the Nepal civil war in 1996. During a snowstorm in Bhutan, Ivo is forced to seek refuge in a crevasse. There, he falls asleep and finds himself five years back in the past, in 1996. He must then live again the same events with an increasingly unsettling awareness and perception. Until he crosses again the fatal day his life was separated from Iris, when he will have to make a choice. This story explores, in the dream perception of reality, a life's evolution through loss, memory, identity, and the resilience to move on. It is a novel for those who have ever lost something they thought they could not live without-and still found a way to climb.
