To know them would take forever, to love them demands a kind of courageous surrender. In \u003cem\u003eThe Hidden Fires\u003c\/em\u003e, Merryn Glover undertakes that challenge with Nan Shepherd as companion and guiding light.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFollowing in the footsteps and contours of \u003cem\u003eThe Living Mountain,\u003c\/em\u003e she explores the same landscapes and themes as Shepherd's seminal work. This is a journey separated by time but unified by space and purpose, a conversation between two women across nearly a century that explores how entering the life of a mountain can illuminate our own.
