This is a poignant novel about a grandstanding rugby superstar who
loses his dream but finds his soul. The unusual people that he feels
driven to help give him a sense of family and purpose. After learning
of his estranged mother's death, he refuses to grieve and returns to the
the rugby field. He has goals to reach and records to break until an
unexpected stunt during the game ends his chance and drives him to a
brutish act. Driven to make amends, he find friends, himself, and at
long last his mother.
I enjoyed the creativity of the marketeers in their schemes to advertise. I had an emotional attachment to each person in the group and to his or her individual heartbreaking pasts. The connection of all the characters was unveiled slowly and surprisingly. They all needed hope in their lives. Lady G. first provided each one with positive guidance, and later Ashley helped them face reality and find better lives. Ashley was my favorite character, and I wanted the best for him. I don't want to spoil the book by telling too much so I will just say that I couldn't put the book down until I finished it.
Mark Shearman is an outstanding author with an innate ability for writing about intriguing characters and plot lines. He always keeps the readers engaged In the story and makes them commiserate with the characters. He crafts great visual imagery with his words. I will continue to read his books just as soon as he writes them.
