Detailed Product Description
2003, 1st edition. 371 pp. A novel about climbers in Wales, and on the Eiger. Bringing in a love triangle, and memoirs of the London blitz. Rob Dewar is driving home when he hears on the radio that his old friend and climbing partner, Jamie Matthewson, has fallen to his death on a daredevil solo climb. Although he has not spoken to Jamie in many years, he turns his car around and heads to Wales to comfort Jamie's widow, Ruth.
This is a detour that will take Rob on a journey back to the past, to his youth, and to his own obsessive climbing days, when he made the pivotal choices that now come back to haunt him. While unraveling the unanswered questions about Jamie's death, he confronts decades - old betrayals and lies. And it is the secrets about Jamie's life that lead Rob to the truth about his own mother's experiences in London before and during World War II. This superb book is the 2003 winner of the Boardman Tasker Award for mountaineering literature. Hardcover with dust jacket.
