520 $a"In 1928, five cyclists from Australia and New Zealand made history by forming the first English-speaking team to ride in the Tour de France. This group sets off on a 5,476 kilometre journey that sees them ride out beyond their limits. No one is certain they will make it to the finish line - least of all our narrator, a New Zealander racing on a dangerous mix of drink, drugs and damaged memories. Travelling through a northern France still scarred by the First World War, his self-imposed test of endurance takes him ever closer to his own final, invisible mile. A visceral, psychological novel, The Invisible Mile is an extraordinary reimagining of the race as a meditation on memory, on the creation of mythology, history, guilt and love."--Back cover.
