Nyad, Diana

Patrons who enjoy memoirs of athletes and accounts of pursuing long-held dreams will enjoy this story. ["Nyad's moving account is well suited for readers interested in open-water swimming, endurance sports, athletes' memoirs, or age-defying adventures": LJ 9/15/15 review of the Knopf hc.]

Particularly effective in its ability to portray the complex psychology of an extreme endurance athlete, Nyad's moving account is well suited for readers interested in open-water swimming, endurance sports, athletes' memoirs, or age-defying adventures. [See Prepub Alert, 4/6/15.]
