About This Item
New York: Grove Press, 1998. First American Edition. Hardcover. New/New. Translated from Dutch, this is a beautifully written novel about two boys training together to row in the 1940 Olympics. Told in flashbacks as the protagonist looks back on the summer five years later, it is a powerful tale about relationships, war, and finding happiness and meaning in a sport. A review in The Guardian states, "Rarely have sport and literature combined so seamlessly to produce such an absorbing and satisfying novel as this small miracle of a book from Holland by H M van den Brink." A charming and poignant novel.
