1939. It’s midnight in Cambridge, and Rosalind Brixton is awoken by the footsteps of three young men on her roof. They are the Night Climbers, a secret society that gathers on the rooftops long after they should be in bed. Hungry for adventure, Rosalind is quickly initiated into this night-time world of clandestine oaths, cleverness, politics, and sex. But when this Bohemian new world is shattered by a horrific betrayal, she must choose between keeping quiet and seeking revenge.
Climbers is a powerful and poignant exploration of the barriers women face in traditionally male institutions, and the strength, courage, and solidarity it takes to dismantle them.
