Fiction
βTell me the story of Everest,β she said, a fervent smile sweeping across her face, creasing the corners of her eyes. βTell me about this mountain thatβs stealing you away from me.β In 1924 George Mallory departs on his third expedition to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Left behind in Cambridge, Georgeβs young wife, Ruth, along with the rest of a war-ravaged England, anticipates news they hope will reclaim some of the empireβs faded glory. Through alternating narratives, what emerges is a beautifully rendered story of love torn apart by obsession and the need for redemption.
