The Network

Bok av Richard Heller
The long-awaited sequel to Richard Heller's highly-regarded cricket novel "A Tale Of Ten Wickets". Teenage pace bowler Steve is the only child of a disintegrating marriage. He's just left a sink school. He has no social life, no girlfriend and no career prospects. The only thing holding him together is his dream of becoming a fast bowler. But his lonely pursuit of his dream brings him a network of new relationships and a new life. Narrated by its principal characters in vivid dialogue, by turns richly comic and highly sentimental, "The Network" is a rich tribute to the power of sport.
