George Bowring - A Tale Of Cader Idris

Bob has loved the same woman since their school days. So has his best friend George. When George wins her, Bob's heart breaks - yet their friendship somehow endures through years of parallel lives, quiet tensions, and shared misfortunes. Then George takes Bob on a fishing trip to Wales, promising him a sight of the mountains. One of them is Cader Idris, the infamous peak where, according to legend, anyone who sleeps atop it is found dead by morning. As they climb toward the haunted summit, the old rivalries and unspoken resentments rise with them. Will George regret bringing his friend to this dangerous place - or will the mountain claim something neither of them expected? This is a Victorian novel about male friendship tested by love and betrayal, set against the atmospheric wilds of Wales. Blackmore writes with psychological subtlety about how people choose to stay in each other's lives even when wounded, and what happens when the landscape forces those wounds into the open.
