From the Back Cover
A triumphant novel of love and belonging
Miyuki Woodward, adorable but unlucky-in-love, spends all her holidays in the same seaside village. She relishes the solitary daytime walks as much as her evenings in The Anchor with the locals, short Mr Hughes, tall Mr Hughes, Septic Barry and the rest.
But this year a series of events promises to pull Miyuki right to the beating heart of village life.
'Absolutely flawless comic writing.Original, fresh and funny.'
Observer
'As funny and original as ever, Gold is maybe Rhodes's most moving book yet. Unforgettable.'
Jenny Colgan
'Oh, how we love Dan Rhodes. Reliably odd but fabulous.'
Guardian
'Clever and very funny, Gold goes straight to the heart. You will never think about sneezing in the same way again.'
Hilary Mantel
