Description At 30, Will is the epitome of the New Man: successful, a skilled mountaineer, happy in his "equal and open" marriage. Then he falls in love with Kathleen, and his charmed life begins to fall apart as he discovers the strength of their passion and his inability to control it.
At thirty, Will is the epitome of the New Man: his love of mountaineering provides him with transcendence, while political life and his equal and open marriage to Joanna give him the roots he needs. He fully expects this charmed life to continue when he embarks on an affair with Kathleen, one of his tutors and ten years his senior. But neither he nor Kathleen have bargained for the strength of their passion for one another or their inability to control it. Envy, joy, self-scrutiny, the compulsive lure of melodrama and the vertiginous risks of surrender - through letters, psychoanalytic dialogues and obsessive narratives, Alison Fell charts the perverse fortunes of love in a dislocated postmodern world. Set against the mythic and dangerous peaks of the Alps, Mer de Glace - which takes its name from one of the most famous glaciers on Mont Blanc - strips the eternal triangle to its bare bones.
Alison Fell was born in Dumfries, Scotland and raised in villages in the Highlands and Borders. Her previous novels are Every Move You Make and The Bad Box. Among several volumes of poetry she has published are Kisses for Mayakovsky which won the Alice Hunt Bartlett Award for poetry in 1984. She has edited three Serpent's Tail compilations: The Seven Deadly Sins, The Seven Cardinal Virtues and Serious Hysterics. She now lives and writes full-time in North London.
