“A glittering memoir of his walk in the Himalayas—within which is a story of family tragedy, perseverance and love, told with vast insight and grace.” — Meg Rosoff, winner of the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award and author of How I Live Now, Jonathan Unleashed and The Great Godden
In September 2016, at the age of 65, Nigel Roberts embarked on a two month trek through Dolpo, one of the most remote regions in Nepal.
Following the route taken by Peter Matthiessen (The Snow Leopard) and George Schaller (Stones of Silence) over forty years before him, Nigel was driven by a wish to make sense of illness and tragedy in his family, and to better understand his part in those traumatic events.
A quest for clarity and candor, The Leopard and the Moon weaves together three different journeys: a demanding physical hike, an emotional reckoning, and Nepal's own trajectory across four tumultuous decades.
“I am honored to have read your manuscript. It is excellent . . . Your evocative writing retrieved many memories of the brilliant and cold landscape.” — George Schaller, field biologist, conservationist and author of The Year of the Gorilla, The Serengeti Lion and Stones of Silence
