great historical fiction submitted by airgood on July 13, 2015, 5:24pm Read this book because I loved The Paris Wife and similar historical fiction books about wives. This one did not disappoint! It follows George Mallory and his wife as he attempts a Mount Everest climb and she cares for their children at home. Excellent story- could not put it down!
