Village Books are back at Bell House, hosting Sarah Moss who will be talking about her new book The Fell

About this Event

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 a two-week quarantine period, 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 thistime. 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…Uncannily observed, suspenseful, witty and profoundly humane, The Fell asks probing questions about the place the world has become since March 2020, and the place it was before.
