Some books are about falling in love. This one is about learning to be still enough to let it happen.
Freddy is a former club captain, quietly ousted from his old boat club, rebuilding at Mortlake Amateur ahead of Henley next summer. Andy is a Swiss-origin photographer in Fulham, recently left by his girlfriend, with a superglued drawer in his flat he hasn't opened in two years. They meet in a Richmond café one morning in early October 2024, and by the end of the month there is a rescued pub corgi asleep on the sofa between them.
First Shot is the fifth book in the Silverbourne series of gay British literary rowing romances, and the book in which the world of the series finally shows its full shape. Around Freddy and Andy: Finn and Aly (of Book 2, In Sync) as the older mirror couple, Jack the transplanted Princeton engineer at Mortlake, an Elizabethan manor in the Chilterns with a hot tub and a Bordeaux-drunk matriarch on the telephone, and the whole slow, careful geography of chosen family taking shape across Putney, Richmond, Mortlake, and the finish line at Dorney Rowing Lake.
For readers of literary queer fiction who like their rowing accurate, their houses old, and their corgis obstinate. New readers welcome; returning readers rewarded.
