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 … 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.

Having just watched the movie, I was interested in the book (I hadn’t even realized the movie was based on a book!). I knew that OF COURSE the book would be better than the movie. “The book” is always better than “the movie”. This one was not an exception to that rule!
If you’ve seen the movie, you could be like me, thinking “well, I know …
May be the best book I’ve read in years, after the Bible.
Read it! Wonderful!!
I read this book many years ago and it’s story has stayed with me. a story of never giving up, encouraging one another, taking chances and being loyal. What a great read it was and still is, I’ll read it again!
I read this book a year before the movie came out. The book is SO MUCH better. I recommend any book by Charles Martin. He is a gifted writer. I love his stories! Inspirational and moving and tear jerkers. He’s got it all.
Two strangers in an impossible situation find a way to survive. The relationship they form is tested but endures. The book has a surprise ending that I could never have imagined.
A moving tale of survival when strangers crash in a small plane on a mountain. A nail-biter that will make you cheer and cry for these two people.
I loved this book. It was a real page turner for me. The characters were inspirational and strong when facing such adverse circumstances.
Great book. Be sure and read this one. You’ll fall in love with it.
Enjoy Charles Martin’a books. Wonderful storyteller!
Loved this book! Charles Martin is fantastic!
I saw the movie first not realizing it was a book. Movie was ok but after reading the book the movie wasn’t that great at all. I read the entire book in one day. I just couldn’t put it down. New favorite author.
I was up all night reading this book…..I wanted to read it before I saw the movie, I loved it! This is a must read, it has adventure, drama, humour, and a budding romance.
Loved. My favorite Charles Martin book
