Description
THIS AUTUMN'S MUST-HAVE AUTOBIOGRAPHY
'A split-section decision is all it takes. A decision that can change the course of a cricket match. Maybe even the course of your life.'
Sometimes, a split-second is all it takes. In cricket. In life.
In Coming Home, Freddie Flintoff zeroes-in on the crucial moments that made him—some highly celebrated, others less well-known, away from the cameras, but all pivotal in shaping the man he is.
As a boy, growing up in Preston, Fred fell in love with the game of cricket. It gave him his route through life; out on the pitch he felt at home. Through his eyes, we see him picking up a bat for the first time, his early years on the field; that incredible performance to win the Ashes against Australia in 2005; face-downs with rivals; run-ins with the media; the doctors telling him he can't continue to play. On and off the pitch, in and out of the spotlight, Fred tells the whole story.
After retiring, Fred thought he'd left the game behind, relaunching himself in the world of entertainment, but following the car crash that turned his life upside down, it was cricket to which he returned.
Coming Home is a reflection on a unique life, a story like no other, and a love letter to the game that made him. Honest, open, reflective, and funny, like the man himself, this is Freddie Flintoff, in full, in his own words.
