Description
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.
