Reviews for The Sound of Gravity

The mountain and its ferocious weather are brilliantly described The Times 20111018 Another gripping mountaineering epic, but also much more than that, a fine, poetically written meditation on love, loss and redemption Daily Mail The familiar Simpsonian territory of guilt, survival and loss against a background of elemental terror and beauty Daily Telegraph Arresting Metro The tale is deftly woven with an air of immediacy and a visceral, intimate feel, drawing heavily on Simpson's mountaineering experiences Evening Post
