A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Sound of Gravity' is a harrowing, dramatic and powerful novel of love, loss and redemption as that haunting splitsecond memory changes the course of a lifetime. Trapped high on a stormbound mountain face in the icy depths of winter, a 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. Joe Simpson is the author of the bestseller, 'Touching the Void', the autobiographical account of his near-death experience in the Andes, which was made into an award-winning documentary.

Revue de presse

"The mountain and its ferocious weather are brilliantly described" (The Times)

"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)

"Arresting" (Metro)

"The tale is deftly woven with an air of immediacy and a visceral, intimate feel, drawing heavily on Simpson's mountaineering experiences" (Evening Post)
