THE EIGHT MOUNTAINS

Jacques Roy's elegant narration transforms this audiobook into an enchanting story about the bond between Pietro and Bruno, Italian boys from diverse backgrounds who share their love of the Dolomites, and so much more. Although some might characterize Cognetti's book as a coming-of-age novel, it is a far deeper work that comes to life in audio and helps rekindle listeners' memories of the enduring friendships of their youth. Whether they're exploring mountains, sharing the types of confidences close friends share, or learning from each other's background, Roy's graceful tone brings the boys' friendship to life in a captivating and memorable style.
