Sometimes the only way forward is to go back. Ten years have passed since David Mortimer last saw Anna Russell. Their love affair abruptly ended when Anna disappeared. Drifting through life ever since, David has never married, and is devoted only to his scientific work and to the book he has always meant to write, the story of the extraordinary plant explorer in China, Ernest Wilson. But David's isolation is about to change. He receives news that Anna has been seriously injured in an accident. More devastating still is the revelation that he has a daughter, Rachel, whom he has never seen. Both mother and daughter now urgently need his help - and more than one danger is threatening them. This is a story of two journeys, separated by time and place, but with the same goal. To find a way through the mountains, and to bring back something of infinite beauty that might otherwise have been lost forever.

After a not so good start it had an ok ending,
By Avid Reader (The World) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Way Through the Mountains (Paperback)
I started this book last year (ugh!) but somehow it failed to grasp my attention in spite of its "you will not let it down" review on the back cover. The first half is just very slow and vague.
Needless to say I finished reading two very interesting books and was in need for reading material so I decided to tackle this one yet again. I continued from where I left on and it was a bit slow until it actually became interesting, the story finally began to unravel and had a well kind of emotional ending. Unfortunately the end was beating around the bush just too long and left some lose ends. Nevertheless I finished it.
