LINE ABOVE THE SKY: ON MOUNTAINS AND MOTHERHOOD (PB)

As a child, Helen Mort was drawn to the thrill and risk of climbing. But when she became a mother for the first time, she found herself re-examining this most elemental of disciplines, and the way that we view women who put themselves in danger. A blend of memoir and nature writing, this book is a love letter to losing oneself in physicality, whether that in the risk of climbing a granite wall solo, without ropes, or the intensity of bringing a child into the world.
