Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Exceptional.fast and smart, funny and sad, this is an outstanding sports novel, and Joe Mungo Reed is an author to watch' (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).Sol and Liz are a couple on the cusp.

They've just welcomed their first child into the world, and their bright future lies just before them if only they can reach out and grab it.

Throughout, we're drawn inside the cycling world and treated to the brilliant literary sports-writing of modern classics like The Art of Fielding or End Zone.…
