Book , 2023: 1923 by Ned Boulting. The cycling commentator and writer buys an old newsreel at auction, and begins a quest to discover the story of a Belgian cyclist who appears in the film. The year 1923 echoes through the story, which branches out to include war, family, and Sarah Bernhardt. Recommended. @bookstadon
