The debut novel from the brilliant and award-winning poet Helen
Mort Alexa is a police community support officer whose world feels
unstable. Caron, Alexa's girlfriend, is pushing her away and
pushing herself even harder. A climber, she fixates on a brutal
route. Leigh, who works at a local gear shop, watches Caron climb
and feels complicit. Meanwhile, an ex-police officer compulsively
revisits the April day in 1989 that changed his life forever.
Trapped in his memories of the disaster, he tracks the Hillsborough
inquests, questioning everything. As the young women negotiate
Sheffield's violent inheritance, the rock faces of Stanage and
their relationships with each other, Mort stunningly grounds these
journeys of trust and trauma, fear and falling, in the texture of
the urban and natural terrain underfoot. 'A beautifully
accomplished debut...a deeply felt work of loss, time and healing'
Guardian 'Helen Mort is unmistakably one of the most brilliant
poets of her generation; Black Car Burning shows her to be a
remarkable novelist' Robert Macfarlane
