Book excerpt: Sunday Times Sports Book of the Year 2015 Sometimes you love a football team not only for their strengths, the splendour of their play and the appealing thrust of their character, but also the haunting possibility that their best hopes may never be fulfilled. This has rarely been demonstrated so vividly as by the Manchester City team who briefly, but unforgettably, illuminated the late sixties. And no one was more caught up in their struggles and their triumphs than James Lawton, a young sportswriter starting out on a career that would take him to all the great events of world sport. Yet still, 50 years after Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison began to shape the brilliant team, he counts watching their rise to glory as one of the most exciting times of his professional life. Francis Lee, Colin Bell, Mike Summerbee - these players loomed large over the game as they charged at the peaks of English football, and today evoke a period of the sport's history that seems distant and unknowable, hard to see except through the rose-tinted gloss of nostalgia. Lawton goes back to those heroes, interviewing all the main players and characters who are still alive, and vividly brings to life the story of that City team which with such wonderful panache, and freedom, won the first division title, the FA Cup, the League Cup and the European Cup Winners Cup between 1967 and 1970. This, though, is not just the story of one team, but a broader one of how sport can sometimes so perfectly mirror the exaltation and the despair of the real world, how it carries those who do it, and sometimes even those who merely see it, to moments that will claim a permanent place in their hearts.

Sample Book Insights: #1 I met Jamie five years my senior, and far too serious for me. We were together for the summer, and I had no desire to date anyone else. We got married soon after, and I spent the next year living a simple life with him. #2 I was twenty-four and married to Jamie, who was twenty-nine, in 2008. We had planned our life together, and I didn’t plan to do drugs or drink during my pregnancies. I didn’t care that the wedding was raining, because I didn’t care about the small stuff. #3 I was excited to have my first baby, but I was also nervous. I had read horror stories about how women can become depressed after their babies are born. I was sure that would be me. #4 I had to drive myself to the hospital the next morning for the procedure. The surgery was fast, and when I woke up in recovery, I asked the nurse if my baby was gone. She said it was one of the saddest questions she’d ever been asked post-surgery.

Download or read book Boys and Girls Forever written by Alison Lurie and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2002-12-31 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are some of the world's most talented children's book authors essentially children themselves? In this engaging series of essays, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alison Lurie considers this theory, exploring children's classics from many eras and relating them to the authors who wrote them, including Little Women author Louisa May Alcott and Wizard of Oz author Frank Baum, as well as Dr. Seuss and Salman Rushdie. Analyzing these and many others, Lurie shows how these gifted writers have used children's literature to transfigure sorrow, nostalgia, and the struggles of their own experiences.
