About this ebook

Now a major motion picture starring Kate Winslet and Idris Elba. An atmospheric, suspenseful and gripping story of two people finding love while fighting to survive.
 
When a blizzard strands them in Salt Lake City, two strangers agree to charter a plane together, hoping to return home; Ben Payne is a gifted surgeon returning from a conference, and Ashley Knox, a magazine writer, is en route to her wedding. But when unthinkable tragedy strikes, the pair find themselves stranded in Utah’s most remote wilderness in the dead of winter, badly injured and miles from civilization. Without food or shelter, and only Ben’s mountain climbing gear to protect themselves, Ashley and Ben’s chances for survival look bleak, but their reliance on each other sparks an immediate connection, which soon evolves into something more.
 
Days in the mountains become weeks, as their hope for rescue dwindles. How will they make it out of the wilderness and if they do, how will this experience change them forever? Heart-wrenching and unputdownable, The Mountain Between Us will reaffirm your belief in the power of love to sustain us.

Ratings and reviews

I saw the movie and so I was interested in reading the book. The two are almost completely different, so that caught me by surprise. The book was just okay for me, I like the movie more. Then again it's almost like you are looking at two different stories.

Right in line with Charles Martin's other masterpieces!!! This book really takes a look at what it really means to love another person and be life long soul mates. This book combines the excitement of survival and the intrigue of seeing how a couple falls in love. I have to admit that I was delightfully surprised by the ending. I highly recommend this book.

I truly thought this was a great story about the battling about the courage of never giving up when a tragedy hits. And never gives up and fights threw all the mountains and natures and how two people from different life's fall in love
