Description - Above All Things by Tanis Rideout
The true story of George Mallory's fatal attempt to conquer Everest and the touching hidden love story at its heart
It is 1924 and George Mallory is attempting to be the first to conquer Everest. He faces inhuman cold and wind, but putting one foot falteringly after another he reachs for the peak. Meanwhile, at home Ruth Mallory goes about her day, hiding her uncertainty about the future with or - god forbid - without George.
A powerful, moving story of a husband driven to extraordinary lengths by his ambition and a wife terrified she will lose him to a pitiless rival, Above All Things brings to life one of the great tragedies - and love stories - of the last century.
