DESCRIPTION:Book Launch with Alix Christie\, Donovan Dennis and Joachim Zep
 elinThe Reader Berlin presents the Berlin book launch of THE SHINING MOUNT
 AINS with author Alix Christie in conversation with writer\, publisher and
  journalist Joachim Zepelin. The evening will be accompanied by short fict
 ion from Donovan Dennis.?The more we know of the past\, the more we know o
 f ourselves\,? the Scottish fur trader Angus McDonald wrote in his ledger 
 in Montana in the 1870s. Alix Christie?s novel THE SHINING MOUNTAINS follo
 ws a family saga set against the backdrop of America?s Rocky Mountain West
 . The year is 1838. The young Scotsman Angus McDonald flees his homeland t
 o trade for fur in the unclaimed Oregon Country. There he discovers a worl
 d beyond even a Highlander's wildest imaginings: raging rivers\, buffalo h
 unts\, and the powerful daughter of an ancient and magnificent people. In 
 Catherine Baptiste\, kin to Nez Perce chiefs\, Angus recognizes a kindred 
 spirit. The world in which they fall in love will soon be torn apart by co
 mpeting claims: between British fur traders\, American settlers\, and the 
 Native peoples who have lived for millennia in the valleys and plateaus of
  the Shining Mountains.The true story of this union of the fur trade and i
 ndigenous worlds is based on Christie?s own family. Alix Christie\, a dire
 ct descendant of Angus McDonald?s brother Duncan\, met with her distant co
 usins and consulted extensively with the Nez Perce and Confederated Salish
  and Kootenai Tribes to write the story of her blended family.\n\nViel Spa
