'Rhodes depiction of disaster and ensuing PTSD has the ring of authenticity: he was at Hillsborough that fateful day' - Daily Mail
'Without a doubt one of the best books I have ever read for impassioned impact, beauty of writing, absolute authenticity and pure emotional resonance' - lizlovesbooks
In 1989, eighteen-year-old John Finch spends his Saturdays following Nottingham Forest up and down the country and the rest of the week trudging the streets of his hometown as a postal worker. His blossoming relationship with girlfriend Jen is his only other respite. In 2004 he spends his days teaching in a southern secondary school while delaying the inevitable onslaught of parenthood. Leading inexorably towards the FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough and the worst sporting disaster in British history, this book glides between 1989 and 2004, when the true impact of this tragic day becomes evident.
Fan is a book about personal and collective tragedy. It s about growing up and not growing up, about manhood and about what makes a man, and about football s role in reflecting a society never more than a brick s throw away from shattering point.
Dark, haunting and deeply personal, Danny Rhodes heart-felt novel explodes with gut-wrenching emotion and exposes how disaster can not only affect a life, but change its course forever.
Danny Rhodes was at Hillsborough on 15 April 1989.
A percentage of profits will go to the Anfield Sports & Community Centre (ASCC), on behalf and in memory of the Hillsborough 96.
