Description
Magdalena Mountain is an elegant and eccentric novel that explores themes of love, loneliness, and the natural world. Robert Michael Pyle's first and long-awaited novel weaves together elements of nature writing and fiction to create a captivating story.
The narrative centers around three interconnected Magdalenas: Mary, the woman whose journey sets the book in motion; Magdalena Mountain itself, shrouded in mystery and menace; and the elusive Erebia magdalena butterfly, a rare and beautiful species found on the mountain. As the story unfolds, three characters converge on the high Colorado Rocky Mountain wilderness: October Carson, James Mead, and Mary Glanville, each drawn by their own reasons to seek out this enigmatic creature.
As they journey deeper into the wilderness, their paths become increasingly entwined, culminating in a harrowing encounter on the stony slopes of Magdalena Mountain. This is a story of majesty and high mountain magic, where the boundaries between nature and human experience are blurred.
