The fact that Charles Martin managed to craft a riveting story featuring pretty much only two people for 80% of the book speaks to his skill. The dialogue sparkles and the stakes are sky-high - nothing less than survival. Let me start by saying that much as I enjoyed the movie, the book is better. As it also happens, I read much of it on a home-bound day after losing power (due to a windstorm, alas, not a snowstorm), and my reading experience was only enhanced by candlelight and warm, cozy throws. The book sat on my TBR for months because for me it has to be the right season to read any given book, and springtime was not it for this one.Īs it happens, January was. My only question is, what on earth took me so long?īut I’m getting ahead of myself. Plus, I kept seeing this author’s name pop up in readerly circles and wanted to know what the fuss was about. My husband and I had recently seen the movie (after first checking to confirm that the dog we saw in the preview lives through the movie and - *spoiler alert* - it does). Last spring for my birthday I asked for and received Charles Martin’s The Mountain Between Us.
