Janne Lindrum Description
Janne (Jan) Lindrum was born into a family of British and Australian champions. A proud wife, mother and grandmother, Jan is the author of "The Uncrowned King", the story of the trials and triumphs of a family of champions Billiards players.
The “Legend of the Lindrums” is world renowned. It spans four generations and the records on Billiards and Snooker will forever contain the achievements of this remarkable family.
Tragically, Horace Lindrum’s calling was marred by tragedy, family upheavals, war and controversy but none of these obstacles stopped him from waving the Lindrum flag.
Written in the style of Michael Ondaatje’s Running in the Family, The Uncrowned King is a pastiche that weaves in and out of people’s lives and histories. We go into the Lindrum household, meet each of the characters in their own worlds, get to know their personalities, watch them battle adversity, climb to great heights and perform dazzling feats.
