A lonely, single, sports teacher and mountain climber in the French Alps, Cédric visits the dogs and immediately falls for the puppy with a blue collar.\nNamed Ubac, French for the north side of the mountain – the rainy, cloudy slope – the puppy quickly upends Cédric’s life. They go on hikes together, taking to the hills and exploring, forging a bond that brings joy and a sense of fulfilment and adventure. They brave the world together, hate to be apart, crave the mountains and the natural world; they protect each other.\nOver the course of thirteen years, their pack expands to include Mathilde, Cédric’s wife, and more dogs. Ubac and Me is an intimate meditation on a joyous life lived too fast, the aching pain of separation, and the transformative effect of unconditional love.\nUbac and Me has been a word-of-mouth sensation, selling over half a million copies in France.\nTranslated by Adriana Hunter.","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50098350981408,"sku":"9781787304833","price":16.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781787304833.jpg?v=1768584987","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/ubac-and-me-cedric-sapin-defour-9781787304833","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
