Book Description

A glorious novel from the award-winning author of Mister Pip , now available as a trade paperback original from Vintage Canada.The Book of Fame is a lyrical semi-fictional account of the 1905 All Black rugby tour of Europe – a tour that shaped New Zealand’s identity, from which the players returned to find themselves accorded almost god-like status. This remarkable, award-winning novel is both a tribute to some of the world’s first sporting celebrities and an investigation into the curious workings of fame.Not just a book for lovers of sport, The Book of Fame is essentially a story about friendship and loyalty, and about a group of astonishing young men at the peak of their abilities.From the Trade Paperback edition.
