There is a lot of tennis in this novel – and I mean a lot! Several matches are described stroke by stroke, point by point. Fans of the sport are going to completely love it.
While I have zero interest in watching Wimbledon, even so, I was totally caught up in this tale of a former champion who decides to make a late-career comeback. Having read a couple of – I knew there was a guarantee of a great story and good writing. But what I also got was a complex, flawed, fierce character who has stayed in my head.
