THE FALL by SIMON MAWER
|
SummaryRob Ross is driving home when he hears that his childhood
friend Jim Matthewson has fallen to his death in a climbing
accident. Rob's decision to turn his car around and make
the journey to comfort Jim's widow is the beginning of a
journey into the past, back to Rob's youth-before he made
the pivotal choices that now come back to haunt him.
Simon Mawer skillfully unveils the delicate layers of
history in the lives of a group of people connected over
the years by camaraderie, love, competition, and lust. In
the shadow of an old love triangle lies the story of
another, and as we follow the characters from London during
the Blitz to the mountain ranges of the Alps and back to
present-day Wales, Mawer reveals how the agonies of the
past impinge upon the present. This is an intelligent,
thought-provoking love story by a brilliant, masterful
novelist.
