Publishers Description: Rowing! Isnt that the number one sport for rich knobs Callie March is fascinated by human absurdity, including the habits of the upper class. So when she bribes her screen-addicted teenage son to join a local rowing club, she is thrilled to discover a whole new world of odd behaviours, irrational obsessions and riverside rooting. Thrust into a support crew and a very silly uniform, Callie has inadvertently volunteered for a season of pre-dawn parenting, endless fundraising and a whole lot of pandering to insufferable dickheads. But she also finds friendship, intrigue, lust and Harry Styles, while her son finds his first (illuminating) love. Callie is torn between enchantment and repulsion, until a trail of corruption and scandal leads to deep suspicion, and a determination to uncover the dangerous truth behind the closed doors of this unimaginably unconventional sports club. Theres something fishy in the rowing shed, and Callie is determined to rock the boat, or better still, capsize it entirely. This novel is set in northern Tasmania. It contains profundity, profanity, complete tossers and magnificent losers. Praise for Meg Bignell- a boisterous tale of music, friendship and womens rights... this is a book that showcases the capabilities of women both individually and together as a community. Books+Publishing This book! My God! I am LOVING it. Its hilarious and joyful and wise and is a love letter to womens friendships. But its more than that. Its also a feminist grenade disguised as a book. Rebecca Sparrow
