‘A beautifully written, devastatingly honest account of choosing to live.’ – Marni Jackson, Boardman Tasker Award 2022 Chair of Judges

In 1998, Paul Pritchard was struck on the head by a falling rock as he climbed a sea stack in Tasmania. Close to death, Pritchard kept himself going with a promise that he would ‘at least attempt to live’. The Mountain Path is an adventure book like no other, an exploration of a healing brain, a test of will and a triumph of hope.
