On holiday in the North Devon countryside, Neil Langton looks back on the wreckage of his past. He has come to believe that all happiness is behind him; the wounds from his former marriage - in which his wife cheated on him and his young daughter died - are still raw. While rock-climbing, he meets Ellen, a young woman whom he saves from a mountainside accident. Ellen, too, is looking to escape her painful past, struggling to deal with her feelings for the man she loved - a pilot who died in service. Set in postwar Britain, and filled with a memorable cast of characters, North Face is a love story rich in atmosphere and tension.©2026 Mary Renault (P)2026 Little, Brown Book Group Limited Classics Family Life Genre Fiction Women's Fiction

Reviews

a rich, serious, nourishing novel...It demands to be read slowly, with attention. Every character is real, solid, and multi-layered.
