Estranged brothers are reunited over plans to develop the tower
block where they grew up, but the desolate estate becomes a stage
for reliving the events of one life-changing summer, forty years
earlier ... the exquisitely written, moving new novel from West
Camel. 'Unfolds like a spell' Carol Lovekin, author of Ghostbird 'A
deceptively complex and layered story; beautiful, traumatic and
ultimately uplifting' Louise Beech, author of This Is How We Are
Human 'A mesmerising portrait of toxic family relationships: one
that perfectly captures a turbulent era in a changing Britain. I
was gripped' Caroline Wyatt _____________________________ Twins
Aaron and Clive have been estranged for forty years. Aaron still
lives in the empty, crumbling tower block on the riverside in
Deptford where they grew up. Clive is a successful property
developer, determined to turn the tower into luxury flats. But
Aaron is blocking the plan and their petty squabble becomes
something much greater when two ghosts from the past - twins
Annette and Christine - appear in the tower. At once, the desolate
estate becomes a stage on which the events of one scorching summer
are relived - a summer that shattered their lives, and changed
everything forever... Grim, evocative and exquisitely rendered,
Fall is a story of friendship and family - of perception, fear and
prejudice, the events that punctuate our journeys into adulthood,
and the indelible scars they leave - a triumph of a novel that will
affect you long after the final page has been turned. Illustrations
