In the shadow of the mountain

The story begins in a family lunch, there were Marjorie (the mom), Clare Newton (Marjorie`s daughter) and Andrew Newton (Clare`s brother); they were talking about many things when the phone rang. Clare got the call, which was from a Foreign Office who told her about her grandfather. They had found his body. It was about to be recovered from the foot of a glacier in Zermatt and they wanted someone to go over there.
It was a surprise for them; The way Clare took the decision to travel to Zermatt to get her grandfather`s body and discover the real past of her family.
Being there, she could find many things. First of all, her grandfather was one of the best Americans climbers, for that she was proud of the fact that her grandpa had died while climbing a famous mountain in Switzerland. She had a big mystery to solve why did her grandpa leave his family? She found that he was in love with Marianne who was the Grundwalder`s sister, because of her family didn`t know anything about Herr Crowe (grandpa). Grundwalder was the person who helped Clare solve all the mystery, he was who lived the grandpa`s accident. In the end Clare fell in love with Bruno who was the Grunwalder`s grandson.
One of the characters who caught my attention was Ulrich Grundwalder.
He was still alive, in good health and still was seen wandering around the old part of Zermatt most afternoons.
He could speak English; he was a ninety-four-year old mountain guide. He was a small man, very bent, with a face like leather and a huge, thick moustache and incredible old- looking. He has grey eyes.
He had an excellent memory to recall his memories; he wanted to be the most respected guide of his generation. He was a very responsible man; he was polite, kind and a serious man.
There was something interesting that I liked so much_ it was when Bruno and Herr Grundwalder began to tell the love story about her grandpa, she never imagined that situation and the reason why her grandpa had left them, although she didn`t expect it, she considered the fact he was a dishonest person whit his real family to be with other woman and got his dream had always been climbing the top of the mountain. And he got.
I liked so much this story because many times we don`t usually know the truth or the real past of our family, and the time to get the truth we can consider good or bad things that our family did in the past, by the way, we can find the reasons and take the best position about that. And In the middle of all we can find the love and maybe we can be the consequences of the past.
