{"product_id":"9781771174602","title":"A Stroke in Time","description":"John Whelan, champion oarsman, has all but given up on competitive rowing. On the cusp of forty, the Outer Cove fisherman is trying to accept that his time as a rower has passed. His wife agrees, telling him, “Breaking your back down on that pond, that’s a young man’s sport.” But a fracas with the Torbay rowing crew in a St. John’s tavern rekindles his desire to beat his long-time rivals in the upcoming St. John’s Regatta. With the regatta just ten months away, can he and cox Watt Power assemble a championship crew in time? The answer is the stuff of legends.  A Stroke in Time is Gerard Doran’s debut novel. Inspired by true events, this tale of the record-breaking Outer Cove rowing crew of 1901 is a tribute to the everyman hero and a dedication to the outport fishing culture of more than a century ago.","brand":"Flanker Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139832398064,"sku":"9781771174602","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781771174602_p0.jpg?v=1763707686","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781771174602","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
