Synopsis
On Christmas Day 2024, Tom Briggs sets out to climb Scafell Pike alone.
He tells himself it’s just a walk – a way to quiet the noise that’s followed him since everything fell apart. But as the weather turns and the mountain closes in, Tom begins to realise that some journeys can’t be planned, and some endings aren’t really endings at all.
Drawing on true events, A Man and a Mountain is a quiet, redemptive novel about grief, faith, and the strangers who change us.
It’s about the moments that break us open, the kindness that finds us when we least expect it, and the thin, bright line between life and whatever comes after.
For readers who loved The Midnight Library, The Salt Path, or The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, this is a story of hope found in the coldest places – and the warmth that lingers long after the climb.

À propos de l'auteur
Robert Longhurst is a British optometrist and writer based in Essex. He specialises in ophthalmology and community eye care, and his work has been published across clinical and professional platforms. A Man and a Mountain is his debut novel, inspired by a true Christmas Day climb and his interest in the quiet intersections between grief, kindness, and human connection. Alongside this novel, he is the creator of an illustrated children's series The Hallion Scallion, which follows a lovable spring onion through gentle, imaginative adventures. It blends humour, heart, and gentle life lessons. Robert's writing is inspired by real-life experiences and a belief in the power of kindness, connection, and storytelling. Outside of work, Robert is a runner, parkrun tourist, and founder of the kindness initiative Double Drinks.

Paperback. Etat : New. 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.
