The extraordinary new novel from the author of THE OTHER HAND. GOLD is about the limits of human endurance, both physical and emotional. GOLD is about what drives us to succeed - and what we choose to sacrifice for success. GOLD is about the struggles we face every day, the conflict between winning on others' terms, and triumphing on your own. It will make you cry. It will make you feel glad to be alive. GOLD is a story told as only Chris Cleave could tell it. And once you begin, it will be a heart-pounding race to the finish.
