Edmonds Library Book Group - "The Boys in the Boat"
Welcome to the Edmonds Library Book Group! This month we will be
discussing The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown.
"The Boys in the Boat describes how a group of working class youths from the University of Washington rowing team emerged from obscurity to defeat a field of elite international rivals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Sports fans who love a good "Cinderella story" will cheer this fast-paced, emotionally charged account of the players' and coaches' struggles set against stark Depression-era realities."
Physical books can be picked up at the front desk after August 1st. eBooks and audiobooks can be accessed through Libby or Overdrive.
If you haven't finished the book by the meeting date and would like to join, you are more than welcome. Beware, spoilers ahead.
