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 *
