More about the book

Margaret and Patrick, married for just a few months, set off on a great adventure - a year living in Kenya. While Patrick practises equatorial medicine, Margaret works as a photojournalist, capturing a dizzying and sometimes dangerous city on film. When a British couple invites the newlyweds on a climbing expedition to the summit of Mount Kenya, they eagerly agree. But during the ascent the unthinkable happens: a horrific accident occurs. In its aftermath, Margaret struggles to understand what happened on the mountain and how it has transformed her and her marriage, perhaps for ever.
