He started climbing in the era of moleskin breeches, jammed knots and long run-outs. His first novel, North Wall, was praised by Al Alvarez as 'a genuine and moving work of imagination on a subject where true imagination is usually the one quality never found.' Hazard's Way, set in the Lake District, won the Boardman Tasker Prize, the Grand Prix at the Banff Mountain Book Festival, and a special commendation from the Royal Society of Literature. North, about a disastrous nineteenth-century American Arctic expedition, won a Special Jury Award at Banff and was hailed in The Observer as 'perhaps the first great historical novel of the twenty-first century.' Four of his novels were re-issued in the United States in 2014. A late novel, Holy Ground, set in the Cuillin against a background of the Spanish Civil War, awaits publication.voir moins
