A Book Signing and Reading with author, Judith Glyde, with her memoir, "Under the Goddess of the Sky: A Journey Through Isolation, Bach, and the Himalayas. The event will take place at Inkberry Books in Niwot, CO, on Saturday, August 3 at 7:00pm.
“In the tranquility of the Khumbu in Nepal, the breathtaking landscapes of the Himalayas meet the sounds of the Bach cello suites. The memoir describes a unique fusion of nature, and determination. In the extraordinary trek to see Mount Everest. from Lukla to Namche Bazar, the author follows in the footsteps of Hillary, Tenzing and the indomitable Sherpas. Bach being the one constant, the adventure is woven with threads of conviction, persistence, and the spirit of exploration — a testament to the boundless ways in which the human spirit relentlessly seeks communication with others.”
Advance Praise: "Inspired by the grandeur of the Himalayas, the dignity and kindnesses of the simple Sherpa villagers who took her in, and her beloved cello, Judith Glyde explores the central questions that define our humanity. Her memoir of those months reads like a novel. But it's the depth of her reflections - the insecurities, the uncertainties, self-doubt and, in the end, the glorious accomplishment of being truly alive and in harmony - that stay with us. A brilliant, courageous piece of writing." Greg Fields, Koehler Books
