Beschreibung
On Christmas Day, Tom Briggs drives north with nothing but a backpack, a spring onion, and the ache of a life that has fallen apart. His destination: Scafell Pike. His hope: that the climb will quiet the noise in his head. His fear: that it won't.

Based on a true story, A Man and a Mountain is a deeply moving novel about grief, heartbreak, and the unexpected kindness that can find us in our darkest hours. As a sudden snowstorm closes around him on the mountain, Tom's past rises with the mist-memories of Clare, the woman he loved and lost; the mistakes he can't undo; the loneliness he can't outrun. Exhausted, freezing, and slipping off the path, Tom begins to wonder if he will make it down at all.

Then he meets Yusuf.

A quiet, steady stranger who offers warmth, tea, and a truth Tom has been avoiding. Together they begin the descent-one that will change the course of Tom's life in ways he never imagined. But when Tom reaches the foot of the mountain, he must face a discovery that challenges everything he thought he knew about that day ... and about himself.
Told with tenderness and breathtaking clarity, A Man and a Mountain is a novel about survival, small miracles, and the people who hold us up when the world feels too heavy. It's for anyone who has ever loved deeply, lost deeply, or needed a sign to keep going.

A story about reaching the summit-only to discover the real climb begins on the way back down.
