Resumen del Editor

Rob Carrey, the son of a working-class cabinet maker, arrives at the Fenton School with a scholarship to row and a chip on his shoulder. Generations of austere Fenton men have led the rowing team, known as the God Four, to countless victories - but none are as important or renowned as the annual Tuesday-afternoon race against their rival, Warwick. But first Rob must complete months of preparation driven by their captain, Connor Payne's vicious competitive nature. As the race nears, the stakes rise, tempers and lusts are fueled, and no one can prevent the horrible tragedy that befalls one of them.

Fifteen years later, Rob returns home from a film shoot in Africa to end a heartbreaking relationship with his girlfriend, Carolyn. But when a phone call from one of the God Four compels him to attend the reunion at Fenton, no part of Rob's past remains sequestered for long and nothing about his future is certain.

As much about the sport of rowing as it is a novel of finding oneself, not once, but again in mid-life, Ron Irwin's Flat Water Tuesday is a testament to the pride and passion of youth, and an ode to the journey of forgiveness. A stunning novel of boarding school, family secrets, deep and passionate love, and the brutal pain of sports training.

Flat Water Tuesday Falls Flat

The only reason I tried this book was on advice of Boston Globe's Alex Beam's beaming suggestion. He liked this book significantly more than Boys In The Boat. WRONG! Boys In The Boat is a rare triumph, Flat Water Tuesday has nothing much really to do with crew. It is a mundane ordinary tale of teen angst set in a rich boy's east coast boarding school with all too frequent trips forward to more adult angst and dysfunction all of which has been done much better in other tomes. It all gave me the ZZZZZZ's whereas Boys In The Boat had me riveted start to finish. Flat's narration was very good however, but could not rescue an otherwise boring effort. Take my advice, ignore Mr. Beam, read Boys In The Boat and wait for the upcoming movie about same. Methinks Mr. Brown's success in getting his book to the big screen made the Globe's reviewer not a little overly envious.
