While in one sense, More Than Words spins a tale of three enigmatically intertwined love triangles, in another, it is a story that explores how human interactions and relationships reflect and echo those found in the natural world. Still further, the three figures within a love triangle may be analogized as the three peaks of the mountain range described in the story. While the details of furtive relationships, rising like the layers of a distant mountain ridge, are often first voiced by others, little doubt is left regarding their origin.
