After the success of ‘Boy A’, which has just been made into a film, Jonathan Trigell’s second novel ‘Cham’ is about the quest for powder and forgiveness in Chamonix Mont Blanc.
With the strap-line “The Beach on ice: deep powder, dead poets and moral free-fall in the death-sport capital of the world.” Trigell’s fictional account of a young Brit out to forget his past in the adrenaline, alcohol and easy lays of the present sounds action-packed if low-brow stuff. But the publisher promises it has:
“Jonathan Trigell’s writing soars when describing the sublime mountain scenery and the rushing, redemptive exhilaration of skiing… But he’s equally at ease conveying the murky moral ambiguity of Itchy’s life… Exposing the darkness at the heart of a white world, Trigell’s second novel is tense with foreboding: a clever, very contemporary cliff hanger.” Metro.

Sounds good, I’ll be looking to get a copy in my Christmas stocking. Having done a season in Cham it should bring back some memories of the life there.

Just wanted to comment on the book. I had a long flight last winter 2007. And I must say this book was worth every dime I paid for it. I enjoyed reading it so much I gave it to my mother to read. And she also loved the book. It as been 6 months since I read it and I am even thinking about reading it again. Enjoy everyone!!!!!
