I’ll Call You in Kathmandu – Bernadette McDonald

l’ll Call You in Kathmandu – Bernadette McDonald |

“I’ll Call You in Kathmandu is much more than an admirable biography of an intriguing woman. While throwing open the curtains on the enigmatic life of Elizabeth Hawley, Bernadette McDonald provides a crash course in the history of Himalayan mountaineering, crammed with engaging renderings of the numerous characters whose lives intersected with Hawley’s over the past 45 years in Kathmandu-a quirky cast ranging from Sir Edmund Hillary to Hillary Clinton, Boris Lissanevitch to Babu Chiri, Reinhold Messner to Jimmy Carter.”
