The Fall

The Fall

Author(s): Simon Mawer

Location(s): Switzerland, Wales

Genre(s): Fiction

Era(s): Mid 1900s onwards

The novel embarks on a journey involving three generations of families shifting from various decades. Rob Dewar and his climbing partner, Jamie Matthewson, are clinging by their fingertips to the North Face of the Eiger, one of the most difficult and dangerous of all mountaineering challenges. It is the drama of this “sport” and an examination of the personal psyches of the climbers, those inner forces which motivate climbers.
