Climbing gives you the illusion of being in control just for a while the tantalising sense of being able to stay one move ahead of death
Helen Mort has always been drawn to the thrill and risk of climbing the tension between human and rockface and the climbers powerful connection to the elemental world But when she becomes a mother for the first time she finds herself reexamining her relationship with both the natural world and herself as well as the way the world views women who arent afraid to take risks
A Line Above the Sky melds memoir and nature writing to ask why humans are drawn to danger and how we can find freedom in pushing our limits It is a visceral love letter to losing oneself in physicality whether climbing a mountain or bringing a child into the world and an unforgettable celebration of womanhood in all its forms
