The Fell

At dusk on a November evening in 2020 a woman slips out of her gardengate 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 smallhouse, 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 quicksolitary walk – a breath of open air – falls and badly injures herself.Whatbegan as a furtive walk has turned into a mountain-rescue operation . . .
