“I was very sorry to read of the death of Simon Mawer (born 1947). Simon won the Boardman Tasker Award in 2003, with his book The Fall. Simon was an accomplished author, and his novel The Glass Room was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. Simon was an enthusiastic climber, and The Fall is a very elegant novel, set mostly in Snowdonia.”
