Good Game (en Inglés) - Brooke Smith

On Vancouver Island in 1992, two brothers move through a life shaped by work, sport, and quiet expectation. Rugby is the constant-its rhythms familiar, its rules clear.

Everything else is less certain.

When Tom and Connor Davidson come into possession of a winning lottery ticket found in their captain's lost wallet at work, what begins as chance becomes a test of character. The money offers a way out, a different life just within reach. But it also introduces a fracture-between right and wrong, between the brothers themselves.

As their team advances toward the championship, the tension off the field begins to surface within it. Confidence gives way to hesitation. Loyalty is measured against desire. And the game they have always trusted begins to reflect something far more complicated.

Good Game is a novel about brotherhood, about the weight of choice, and about the moment when a life can turn-quietly, irrevocably-in one direction or another.
