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