Caroline Sauvé, a Montréal journalist,is in a room in the Mountainside Hospital for a life saving operation. Haunted by the memories of the recent death of her husband Thomas, she wonders if she even wants to live. Dr. Ken Pine, a heart surgeon, cares for her and she is able to recover. Mourning has made Caroline vulnerable to the doctor's attentions and Paulina, her sister, and Joanie, a friend, try to persuade her not to become involved. Fragile, willful Caroline has other ideas. She makes a brave decision to move to the mountain, near the hospital and the cemetery where Thomas is buried. Poised between the past and the future, Caroline learns more about love and what makes her strong. Written in a graceful, lucid prose, with evocative imagery, A Room on the Mountain is a touching story about the transformative power of grief.
