The Sound of Gravity by Joe Simpson

The Sound of Gravity by Joe Simpson

As her hand slips from his grip, Patrick's life is shattered, forever changed. The Sound of Gravity is a harrowing, dramatic and powerful tale of love, loss and redemption as that haunting split-second memory changes the course of a lifetime. Trapped high on a stormbound mountain face in the icy depths of winter, the stricken young man is forced to fight for his life. Half a lifetime later, haunted by grief and guilt, Patrick is freed from his self-imposed vigil when at last the mountain releases his heart-rending secret.

"Another gripping mountaineering epic, but also much more than that, a fine, poetically written meditation on love, loss and redemption" * Daily Mail *
"The familiar Simpsonian territory of guilt, survival and loss against a background of elemental terror and beauty." * Daily Telegraph *
"The tale is deftly woven with an air of immediacy and a visceral, intimate feel, drawing heavily on Simpson's mountaineering experiences." * Evening Post *
