Discarded by his kin at a tender age, left alone and forced to survive in the forests of Washington State, young Joe Rantz finds solace in rowing as a means to escape his past.
What ensues is a remarkable odyssey, as Joe and eight other blue-collar boys swap the grime and toil of life in 1930s America for the allure of triumph in the epicenter of Hitler’s Berlin. With each stroke, an extraordinary youth endeavors to restore his broken self-esteem, to dare to believe in others once more, and to navigate his way back home.
Narrated against the canvas of the Great Depression, Daniel James Brown’s The Boys in the Boat is a first-rate narrative non-fiction; a personal tale brimming with lyricism and unforeseen elegance that transcends the broad arc of history, and instead captures the purest embodiment of what it means to be alive.
The boys in the boat audiobook. Fantastic despite the not tempting subject matter, and soon to be out in film. Listen first, its worth it
