Eleanor Alice Burford, Mrs. George Percival Hibbert was a British author of about 200 historical novels, most of them under the pen name Jean Plaidy which had sold 14 million copies by the time of her death. She chose to use various names because of the differences in subject matter between her books; the best-known, apart from Plaidy, are Victoria Holt (56 million) and Philippa Carr (3 million). Lesser known were the novels Hibbert published under her maiden name Eleanor Burford, or the pseudonyms of Elbur Ford, Kathleen Kellow and Ellalice Tate. Many of her readers under one penname never suspected her other identities.

I enjoyed this book, yet felt I knew the secondary characters better than the primary character. To me it was a sad book about a mostly wasted life. The ending was wonderful and, at least for me, unexpected.

3 3/4*s!
"In the beginning there was the mountain. In the end there was the mountain. Between were the miles and the years."
Between was the life of the mountaineer. From the streets of his childhood home in Denver to Katmandu and the Sherpa villages high in the Himalayas.
His triumphs and highs ~ in his life and on the slopes; and the lows and defeats ~ before trying again. Always trying again.

Excellent book. A must read for all mountaineers, trkkers, outdoor and mountain enthusiasts.

The mountain climbing bits were excellent, per the usual Ullman, but the middle "find himself" section was a real drag after several chapters.

A strange happy/unhappy book. I would never make a mountain-climber or a writer, and I doubt I'll ever attempt another of Mr. Ullman's books.

Also finished this book while traveling between London, India, and Dubai. Overall somewhat dark book, but I am glad that there was some redemption for the main Character Rick at the end.

An adult "Banner In the Sky". A story of tragedy, suffering and redemption. A great writer.

This was one of my all time favorite books. It's about never giving up on yourself and following your dreams.
