From Sarah Moss, the Sunday Times bestselling author of Summerwater
and Ghost Wall, comes a story about the circumstances and the
consequences of isolation. 'A tense page-turner . . . I gulped The
Fell down in one sitting' - Emma Donoghue 'Her work is as close to
perfect as a novelist's can be' - The Times At dusk on a November
evening in 2020 a woman slips out of her garden gate and turns up
the hill. Kate is in the middle of two weeks of isolation, but she
just can't take it any more - the closeness of the air in her small
house, the confinement. And anyway, the moor will be deserted at
this time. Nobody need ever know. But Kate's neighbour Alice sees
her leaving and Matt, Kate's son, soon realizes she's missing. And
Kate, who planned only a quick solitary walk - a breath of open air
- falls and badly injures herself. What began as a furtive walk has
turned into a mountain-rescue operation . . . Unbearably
suspenseful, witty and wise, The Fell asks probing questions about
the place the world has become since March 2020, and the place it
was before. This novel is a story about compassion and kindness and
what we must do to survive. 'Gripping, thoughtful and revelatory' -
Paula Hawkins 'This slim, intense masterpiece is one of my best
books of the year' - Rachel Joyce 'One of our very best
contemporary novelists' - Independent
