About “Touchdown”
Rick Dockery was once a celebrated football player, but now his career is in danger of ending. An offer from Italy arrives that suits him just fine, because a club in Parma urgently needs a playmaker.
Rick does not hesitate long. With the move across the Atlantic, an uncertain time begins for him, in which he must find himself again in a foreign country.
He is expected to win the title as an American miracle weapon, but what appeals to him most is the sweet life by the Mediterranean. Between the team's expectations and his own preferences, the tension grows.
Whether Rick finds a fresh start in the foreign land and what becomes of his team is the question that accompanies the reader through the novel.
Who is “Touchdown” for?
For readers who want to discover Grisham in a different way. Anyone who likes football will find the sport as the thread of the story, and anyone interested in the contrast between American and Italian ways of life will get an insight here. The novel also suits readers looking for a lighthearted story.
When is “Touchdown” the best read?
The story is set in Italy, so reading it in summer, perhaps on an Italian vacation, is fitting. The novel can also be read in between, whenever opportunities arise. Anyone who prefers listening will find the book available as an audiobook as well.
