A grueling race, a haunting past. The 1928 Ravat-Wonder team, the first English-speaking team in the Tour de France, faces a brutal challenge: 5,476 kilometers of unsealed roads on fixed-wheel bikes. They weren't expected to finish, yet stadiums roar with their names. The Invisible Mile reimagines this tour from within the peloton. A young New Zealander's test of endurance becomes a psychological descent into the war's chaos. Fueled by cocaine and opium, victory and defeat blur as he confronts his family's past. Nearing the battlefields, trauma and guilt cast shadows, drawing onlookers eager for revelation. For readers of literary historical fiction, this novel explores themes of national identity, sacrifice, and the invisible wounds of war. Will the team make it to the finish line, or will the past claim them first?
