A TOP 10 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2018 SPORTS
BOOK AWARDS LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR
2017 The incredible true story of four ordinary working mums from
Yorkshire who took on an extraordinary challenge and broke a world
record along the way. Janette, Frances, Helen and Niki, though all
from Yorkshire, were four very different women, all juggling full
time jobs alongside being mothers to each of their 2 children. They
could never be described as athletes, but they were determined to
be busy and the local Saturday morning rowing club was the perfect
place to go to have a laugh and a gossip, get the blood pumping in
the open air, and feel invigorated. Brought together by their love
of rowing, they quickly became firm friends, and it wasn't long
before they cooked up a crazy idea over a few glasses of wine:
together, they were going to do something that fewer people than
had gone into space or climbed Everest had succeeded in doing. They
were going to cross 3,000 miles of treacherous ocean in the
toughest row in the world, The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.
Yes, they had children and husbands that they would be leaving
behind for two months, yes they had businesses to run, mortgages to
pay, responsibilities. And there was that little thing of them all
being in their 40s and 50s. But two years of planning, preparation,
fundraising, training and difficult conversations later, and they
found themselves standing on the edge of the San Sebastian harbour
in the Canary Islands, petrified, exhilarated and ready to head up
the race of their lives. This is the story of how four friends
together had the audacity to go on a wild, terrifying and beautiful
adventure, not to escape life, but for life not to escape them.
