A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

A wonderfully atmospheric and hugely enjoyable ghost story (Anthony Horowitz)

Looking for a proper ghost story? Thin Air is a creepy, compelling tale of a Himalayan climbing expedition, where strange events on the mountain stir dread and panic. (GOOD HOUSEKEEPING)

This vivid ghost story reads like a classic (SUNDAY MIRROR)

There are no obvious shocks here but instead a sustained creeping dread as the likelihood increases that it's not all in Pearce's mind and that they are heading for tragedy just like Lyell and company. Subtitled 'A Ghost Story', this is very much the classic approach, concentrating on mood and subtllety to create chills in the reader. (James Evans STARBURST)

Spellbindingly creepy (Eithne Farry SUNDAY EXPRESS)

Michelle Paver's descriptions of Himalayan mountain-climbing are terrifyingly lifelike - the lashing winds, glittering ice: you can see it all...Paver's style is lively and clear; and the tale just rips along...Just fantastic (Wendy Holden DAILY MAIL)

Chilling in every sense (Violet Hudson MAIL ON SUNDAY)

This haunting new novel and long-awaited sequel to the chilling Dark Matter certainly doesn't disappoint. The plot of Thin Air is undeniably gripping and a genuine page-turner. After finding herself mesmerised by the history, vastness and the terrifying solitude of the Himalayas, Paver used it as the setting for this undeniably gripping account of a 1935 expedition up Kangchenjunga. (Kate Whiting GLASGOW HERALD)

Paver's descriptions of the isolated and intimidating landscape create an eerie, unsettling atmosphere that gets under your skin (DAILY EXPRESS)

A ghost story to chill and thrill...Like Touching the Void rewritten by Jack London, Thin Air is a heart-freezing masterpiece. (Amanda Craig THE OBSERVER)
