Review
"Both hilarious and affecting, perhaps even profound. His is a special and distinctive talent. 5 stars."
"In all his books, there beats a heart so sweet that to encounter it can be painful; this hones even further the razor edges of the moments of heartbreak when they come. . . . Absolutely flawless comic writing . . . Stylistically, it's as clear as vodka, straightforward and suggestive. . . . Dylan Thomas described Under Milk Wood as 'a green-leaved sermon on the innocence of men' and that also neatly sums up Gold. It's original, fresh, and funny."
Book Description
A triumphant novel of love and belonging from the author of Timoleon Vieta Come Home

Seller: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Like a Welsh Am lie set in a pub, Gold is a tender, understated tale of love, loss, and growing up. It is also vintage Dan Rhodes, one of the most critically beloved novelists working today. Miyuki Woodward, lover of beer and microwaveable food, has been taking a two-week vacation--away from her companion--to the same seaside town in Wales for the last eight years. She is made to feel at home at the salty seaside pub, where Short Mr. Hughes, Tall Mr. Hughes, and Mr. Puw are happy to add her to their trivia-contest team. This year, following an impulsive artistic act involving 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. Gold is a bittersweet, idiosyncratic, funny affirmation of life and a touchingly satisfying story rich in pathos, insight, and asides from the best-selling author of Timoleon Vieta Come Home and Anthropology.
