Recommended by Sarah Harvey, Tattered Cover Book Store, Denver, CO

GoldA Novel, by Chris Cleave(Simon & Schuster, 9781451672725, $27)“Cleave is one of the luminaries of modern fiction and his talent shines just as brightly as the title of Gold. In a novel based on the world of competitive cycling, Cleave offers all of the trauma, dedication, and courage of that elite society, but more importantly, shows us those same attributes in the lives of his other characters, particularly eight-year-old Sophie, who suffers from leukemia. This is a novel that both inspires and informs, providing sadness and exhilaration in

equal measure and showing empathy for the human condition. Gold is a reading experience not to be missed.”

—Bill Cusumano, Nicola’s Books, Ann Arbor, MI
