A View from the Mountain by DON HAWORTH with It takes a very special sort of man to attempt, every day of his life, a task that by any ordinary human standards is impossible. Merope's husband, Joseph, is such a man. And each morning, like Sisyphus before him, he sets off to roll a boulder from the valley where he lives to the top of a neighbouring mountain.
