About this ebook

WINNER - READERS' FAVORITE BOOK ABOUT SPORT


In this epic novel about the motor-racing heroes of pre-war Italy and Germany, legendary characters battle to win incredible races on switchback roads along the edges of ravines. Exploring the relationships between the champions as much as the sporting events themselves, this is a thrilling tale based on the true rivalries, triumphs and disasters during a fascinating period in European sporting history.


"Martini writes about the dawn of motor racing, a violent and treacherous sport where men serviced their addiction to speed and etched their names in history. Enjoy riding with the greats, it's a rush." - Ben Collins, aka The Stig from BBC's Top Gear


"Every fan of motor racing should read this book. How the legendary Italian drivers of the past forged the sport we love today with blood and bone" -.Mario Andretti, motor sport legend


"A great read! An incredible tale of skill and courage based on true events". -Alex Baldolini, 250cc/moto2 WSS rider


"Meticulously researched, beautifully crafted, and a captivating read from beginning to end". - The Historical Novel Society

    I was lucky enough to receive this book via @NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.I agree with the description of this book that it is a beautifully written exploration of identity, love and loss, set against the social upheaval created by the rise of Singapore.I really enjoy reading about other cultures & this book did not disappoint a sad poignant story. I recommend
