Hardback. Condición: Very Good. The Paris Wife meets Into Thin Air in this breathtaking novel of love and obsession, which tells the story of George Mallory's legendary attempt to be the first man to conquer Mount Everest - and of the remarkable woman he left behind to await news of his fate. A captivating blend of historical fact and imaginative fiction, Above All Things moves seamlessly between the epic story of Mallory's final expedition and a moving account of a day in the life of his wife, Ruth.
