　　Margaret and Patrick have been married just a few months when

they set off on what they hope will be a great adventure-a year

living in Kenya. Margaret quickly realizes there is a great deal

she doesn't know about the complex mores of her new home, and about

her own husband.

A British couple invites the newlyweds to join on a climbing

expedition to Mount Kenya, and they eagerly agree. But during their

harrowing ascent, a horrific accident occurs. In the aftermath of

the tragedy, Margaret struggles to understand what happened on the

mountain and how these events have transformed her and her

marriage, perhaps forever.

A Change in Altitude illuminates the inner landscape of a couple,

the irrevocable impact of tragedy, and the elusive nature of

forgiveness. With stunning language and striking emotional

intensity, Anita Shreve transports us to the exotic panoramas of

Africa and into the core of our most intimate relationships.

　　PRAISE FOR A CHANGE IN ALTITUDE:

　　"Visual and sharply focused....Shreve knows how to keep a reader

engaged." (Washington Post Valerie Sayers )

　　"No one is better at gently, but thoroughly probing the interior

life of her characters than Anita Shreve....A Change in Altitude

reflects many of Shreve's familiar themes: loss and grief, the

relationship between a man and woman, and how one moment can change

a life forever. Shreve weaves a strong mix of exotic Africa and

interesting characters, producing a potent story that will keep

readers thinking about them long after the last page of the novel."

(Newsday Mary Foster )

　　"Shreve takes readers from Nairobi's lush suburbs to its fetid

slums, from the drawing-room world of the white gentry to that of

its black servants....A Change in Altitude rises a few thousand

feet above typical women's fiction." (USA Today Olivia Barker

)

　　"Prepare to cancel all your appointments as you race through this

dramatic saga....Enthralling. The mountains Margaret must

climb-literally, and figuratively-are difficult ones. Readers will

be eager to learn if she successfully scales the peak." (Bookpage

Eliza Borné )

　　"A winner. Once again, Shreve's fans can approach her book with

the confident anticipation that she will provide yet another

satisfying experience. A Change in Altitude is an unusual kind of

page-turner, part whodunit, part adventure story....Readers will

vicariously enjoy all facets of this adventure in Africa from the

safety of their own armchair." (Free-Lance Star Diane Makovsky

)
