Join us October 25, 2021 @7pm for our next book club! In his non-fiction novel, The Boys in the Boat, Daniel James Brown recounts the story of the University of Washington’s 1936 eight-oar rowing team that stunned the world at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. This emotional story focuses on one rower, Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows to regain his shattered self-regard and to find a place to call home. The novel draws on the diaries and journals of the boys in the rowing crew, as well as their photos and memories of this once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
