title: The Runaway Wife: A Novel
author:  Elizabeth Birkelund 
description: <i>Whered You Go, Bernadette?</i> meets <i>Eat, Pray, Love</i>. (The Skimm)<br /><br />Birkelund writes sensuous, myth-ridden prose, intensely alive to the natural world. She spins a tale here that feels both ancient and very new, and sets it in a landscape at once so dangerous and so beautiful that the story and the mountains seem to be part of each other. (Beth Gutcheon, author of <i>Gossip</i> and <i>Still Missing</i>)<br /><br />Elizabeth Birkelund is a graceful, intelligent writer, full of energy and wit, and I love the way she blends American and European themes. (Roxana Robinson, author of <i>Sparta</i>)<br /><br />In Birkelunds gorgeous prose, the mountains take on an astonishing glory and ferocity, a fitting background for Jim Olsens poignant and compelling journey from sorrow to self-discovery. (Lauren Belfer, author of <i>A Fierce Radiance</i>)<br /><br />Racing from the breathtaking heights of the Swiss Alps to the heady power circles of Paris and New York, <i>The Runaway Wife</i> scales the peaks of human adventure and plumbs the depths of the human heart. (Ellen Feldman, author of <i>Terrible Virtue</i> and <i>Next to Love</i>)
