{"product_id":"9781919473802","title":"The Fall - Penelope Curtis","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Fall traces three paths taken through one small village in Lincolnshire - by Isaac Newton, who received his first schooling there in the mid-17th century; by the Rev. Charles Hudson, who was vicar in the 1860s; and by the actor David Niven, who visited his mother-in-law there in the 1940s. Each is intent on his own preoccupations - on understanding the physical world, on conquering the Matterhorn, on conquering women - but there is a thread which binds them. An insignificant village becomes the unwitting centre of life-changing events and inevitable tragedy. Told from the margins - through the experience of a questioning child, and of wives and mothers who live as helpmeets to their men - The Fall is an act of vivid observation and reclamation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penelope Curtis","offers":[{"title":"134 pages \/ 01\/09\/2026 \/ Modern \u0026 contemporary fiction (post c 1945)","offer_id":57416754004343,"sku":"9781919473802","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781919473802","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
