Friendship, individual growth, relationships...these are some of the themes throughout this beautiful coming-of-age story focused on two boys from different backgrounds. The Eight Mountains allows the reader to step onto the Dolomites, the mountains in northeastern Italy, and understand what some crave from their natural beauty, as well as the thrill and exhilaration the mountains provide. When Pietro and Bruno meet as young boys, they form an instant bond that lasts despite the divergent paths their lives take. Thought provoking and emotional!
