Description
The America's Cup is more than a sailing regatta; it is about honour and tradition and the centuries-old need for the conqueror to come home victorious. Boat against boat, skipper against skipper, country against country. No America's Cup is without controversy, scandal and intrigue. Big personalities clash as claims of espionage, rule- breaking and betrayal resound. The competition attracts some of the greatest talent in the sailing world, and some of the greatest fortunes are spent chasing the dream of winning. And huge fun can be had simply being part of this world. SEA FEVER charts the lives and loves of four sailors over a decade and two America's Cup titles. Following in the footsteps of the hugely popular Playing James, Party Season and High Society, and reminiscent of early Jilly Cooper novels, this is a must for Sarah's loyal following and new readers alike.
