Thanks to Linda Moore who wrote I've just finished reading an amazing book I wanted to share with my friends, "The Corridor" by Iain Peters, the autobiography of a local Hartland climber and writer. www.iainpeters.com

The Corridor is a gripping story of how mountains, climbing & secret shame can shape a life.

 Wild places, vivid characters & turbulent relationships frame a narrative of extraordinary emotional survival in the face of childhood rape. 'outstanding book' 'pitch perfect writing' Please share

'The Corridor' is "no ordinary climbing autobiography.... insightful and informative about the legacy of abuse.. searingly frank and moving book, and it deserves to be read by the widest possible audience." Midland Association of Mountaineers Nick Shearman www.iainpeters.com

"In no way is ‘The Corridor’ a “tough read” ... it’s quite the opposite... The abuse Iain was subjected to as a child is described in succinct yet powerful writing. Climbing and mountaineering form the backdrop but the book is predominantly about relationships." Frank Cannings www.iainpeters.com
