‘I loved Just Another Mountain … It’s a really good read’ - Lorraine Kelly; ‘Honest, raw and beautifully written, this uplifting memoir is testament that in life there are times when there is nothing for it but to scale that mountain’ - The Herald Best Summer Reads 2019; ‘An inspiring book for anyone facing challenges. And a heartfelt reminder that only some mountains look like mountains’ - Tristan Gooley, author of The Walker’s Guide to Outdoor Clues & Signs and Wild Signs and Star Paths; ‘A beautifully written book … a powerful message and a thrilling conclusion to a seemingly unachievable goal’ - Rosamund Young, author of The Secret Life of Cows; ‘A story of love and loss and of the redemptive power of mountains, in particular the incomparable mountains of Scotland’ –Stephen Venables, mountaineer and writer; ‘An excellent memoir … vivid and honest … so much more than just a book about walking and climbing in the mountains. Quite frankly it’s heart-breaking at times. Sarah Jane Douglas writes beautifully, her descriptive passages of what she sees and experiences on the mountains are some of the best I’ve read” - read-warbler.blogspot.com
