Falling is a novel by British author Colin Thubron, published in 1990. The story, told mostly in flashback, follows a young man in prison, the crime for which he is imprisoned, and the love that led him to commit that crime. Journalist Mark Swabey is serving a prison sentence in connection with the death of Clara the Swallow, a circus acrobat with whom he fell in love. As the grief-stricken Swabey looks back on their affair, the exact nature of his responsibility for Clara’s death is movingly revealed.
