The Other Kingdom

Telling the tale of Colin Wornock, an Irish runner striving to break into the upper reaches of international track, The Other Kingdom does what many other books about running does not, it goes past just the running aspect of the characters life. The book has a number of sub plots that all interwind, that of Colin's mind, his realationship with his more exprienced lover, that with a family friend who doubles as an analyzing proffesor, his training partners and finaly his fiesty coach. At times the plot can be weighted down with hypothectical conversation about the nature of heroism and pushing oneselves but all in all serves a greater purpose of Colin's final victory over himself.
