Fall

Twins Aaron and Clive are reunited over plans to develop the tower block where they grew up, but the estate becomes a stage for reliving the events of one life-changing summer forty years earlier. The exquisitely written, moving new novel from West Camel is a deceptively complex and layered story that captures a turbulent era in a changing Britain.

Twins Aaron and Clive have been estranged for forty years. Aaron still lives in the empty, crumbling tower block on the riverside in Deptford where they grew up. Clive is a successful property developer, determined to turn the tower into luxury flats. But Aaron is blocking the plan, and their petty squabble becomes something much greater when two ghosts from the past – twins Annette and Christine – appear in the tower. At once, the desolate estate becomes a stage on which the events of one scorching summer are relived – a summer that shattered their lives, and changed everything forever. Grim, evocative, and exquisitely rendered, "Fall" is a story of friendship and family – of perception, fear, and prejudice, the events that punctuate our journeys into adulthood, and the indelible scars they leave – a triumph of a novel that will affect you long after the final page has been turned.
