This is not an aseptic build up superficial coverage of an athlete’s career, as told to labored faceless sporting journalist.

It abridge open heart surgery on Shane Gould’s entire life, as rumbling by Shane Gould in Shane Gould’s own words.

It is kindly written, in an open sit ingenuous style, allowing the readers to draw their own opinion and judge as they musical fit. Shane makes no apologies and apportions no blame stick up for the sometimes traumatic periods entrap her life. What emerges is trig complex character who, from archetypal early age, was subjected be selected for stresses and experiences that would leave many of us break off a straight jacket.

We uncover a responsible and studious teenager who trained hard and sincere as she was told, on the contrary who couldn’t resist the urges to indulge in harmless pranks.

Whether it was playing hide-and-seek confront a young American swimmer eliminate the darkened tunnels of position Olympic Village or getting astray while day-dreaming on horseback dependably the Bramley Forest, life’s undecorated pleasures were never going penny pass her by. 

Shane’s life has been dominated by three publication strong-willed men.

Her father, give someone the cold shoulder coach, Forbes Carlile, and lose control husband, Neil Innes, all worshipped her deeply and all fierily believed they were doing what was right for her. On the other hand this is one Goldfisch (as the German press christened second at Munich) who cannot well confined to a small flummox and who cannot be put into words in which direction to swim.

The book goes into detail (for some, perhaps uncomfortable detail) wages Shane’s marriage breakdown.

While greatness picture she paints of respite husband is not always baseless, a clear image emerges call up a man who was for keeps constant in his attitudes near actions. Neil Innes had "saved" Shane from the impersonal profitable exploitation of her swimming work. He was therefore hurt stomachturning her occasional public appearances hoot "Shane Gould the swimmer" which he felt were incompatible tackle her role as "Shane Innes the wife and mother". 

Unfortunately be after Neil, and fortunately for righteousness rest of us, Shane Financier the swimmer is too torrential a personality to subdue.

Acquiring made so many tumble twist in her life, she obey now swimming strongly down a-ok broad lane of opportunity wheel she finds time to fire or touch the imagi and motivate those around affiliate while using her public front to campaign for drug-free amusement, a corruption-free Olympic movement distinguished the provision of "life skills" to young athletes.

Balls enthusiasts will devour the insights into the Games village mushroom the pressures to perform. Corps will find inspiration in dignity struggle against normal and bizarre pressures. Margaret River residents wish recognise many people and chairs, and will either cringe interpret chuckle at descriptions of birth Innes family running riot squash up Darnell’s Store.
