Synopsis
Miyuki Woodward, lover of pints and Pot Noodles, has been spending holidays in the same Welsh seaside town for years. She loves the wet walks, she loves The Anchor and most of all she loves the pub quiz.
This year, following an act of raw creativity involving some cans of gold spray paint, Miyuki will take part in the most turbulent events the village has seen since Tall Mr Hughes returned from the pub toilet without remembering to button up.

Rare Book
Review
"Hilarious and acutely affecting." (Independent on Sunday)
"Absolutely flawless comic writing. Original, fresh and funny." (Observer)
"Laugh-out-loud funny." (Heat)
"Smashing. Had me snorting like a hippo in mud." (Sunday Herald)
"Oh, how we love Dan Rhodes. Reliably odd but fabulous." (Guardian)
"To achieve what Rhodes does here and effortlessly sustain immaculate comic timing throughout a novel - well, that's just rude." (Time Out)
"Clever and very funny, Gold goes straight to the heart. After reading this you will never think about sneezing in the same way again." (Hilary Mantel)
"Wonderfully unpredictable. Draws you in from the very first page. I couldn't put it down. " (Alan Carr)
"The quirky, determined inconsequential style of Rhodes's novel bears a passing resemblance to that of Alexander McCall Smith." (Christina Koning The Times 2008-03-15)
"Gold is a funny little novel, both humorous and strange." (David Smith Observer 2008-03-16)
