Boys in the Boat. I loved the book.
Admittedly I am one of those who cries when the colors pass. And my best friends and I host Olympic themed parties. We have actually walked our neighborhood bearing a flame and we have toasts and Olympic themed food and cocktails.
Lifetimes ago I was a nanny on a dude ranch. The father of three adorable littles that I was responsible for kept saying he wanted to write screenplays. I chalked it up to a dream.
Then came the Revenant. Many since, and now, Boys in the Boat. And he and the fourth kiddo, who came to be after my time as nanny, have now co-written the marsh King’s Daughter.
DS made me happy and accompanied me to see the Boys in the Boat. Both of us left impacted in the best way.
Oddest part was the main character is a dead ringer in all ways for DS plebe year roomie. Uncanny. Who also crews. Crazy. I couldn’t stop seeing that great young man in that character’s place.
