"While on vacation with their parents, Matthew Homes and his older brother snuck out in the middle of the night. Only Matthew came home safely. Ten years later, Matthew tells us, he has found a way to bring his brother back. What begins as the story of a lost boy turns into a story of a brave man yearning to understand what happened that night, in the years since, and to his very person."
"'I'll tell you what happened because it will be a good way to introduce my brother. His name's Simon. I think you're going to like him. I really do. But in a couple of pages he'll be dead. And he was never the same after that.' The Shock of the Fall is an extraordinary portrait of one man's descent into mental illness. It is a brave and groundbreaking novel from one of the most exciting new voices in fiction."

"La vida puede cambiar vertiginosamente en pocos segundos. Matthew Holmes tiene nueve años. Nunca se separa de su hermano mayor, SImon, al que todos tratan como si fuera menor por una enfermedad cuyo nombre Matt no recuerda. Durante unas vacaciones en Ocean Coves, Simon muere de forma accidental tras salir con Matt una noche de la caravana familiar para curiosear por los alrededores. Es algo que Matt nunca podrá olvidar y que le llevará a encerrarse en sí mismo. Diez años después, Matt encuentra fuerzas para volver a empezar. Su gran ayuda es la abuela Noos, pero sobre todo Annabelle y el recuerdo de Simon que "tenía una cara grande y redonda, siempre sonriente, que me recordaba la luna.""
