Narration As Books Gold

Building on the tradition of Little Bee, Chris Cleave again writes with elegance, humor, and passion about friendship, marriage, parenthood, tragedy, and redemption.

Gold is the story of Zoe and Kate, world-class athletes who have been friends and rivals since their first day of Elite training. They've loved, fought, betrayed, forgiven, consoled, gloried, and grown up together. Now on the eve of London 2012, their last Olympics, both women will be tested to their physical and emotional limits. They must confront each other and their own mortality to decide, when lives are at stake: What would you sacrifice for the people you love, if it meant giving up the thing that was most important to you in the world?

Comment On About Books Gold

There are quite a few very negative comments on this book. It just proves once again how different we are as readers and what our expectations are of a "good read". I gave GOLD 5 stars. I thought it was an excellent read that kept my interest level high all the way through. It is the story of 3 world class cyclists, training for the 2012 Olympics. The 2 females, Kate & Zoe are best friends and best rivals, competing on the same team for the Gold medal. The 3rd cyclist is Jack, who ends up

I'm all for authors trying something different rather than just ploughing the same furrow - so all credit for Chris Cleave for doing that here. And I did try to put aside expectations based on my enthusiasm for Chris Cleave's previous 2 novels, Incendiary and The Other Hand (Little Bee in the US). I also think Chris Cleave is an excellent writer who is capable of producing exceptional material - but I'm afraid Gold just didn't work for me.Zoe and Kate are 2 rival cyclists in the run-up to the

Zoe and Kate are cyclist at the very top of their game, with almost nothing to choose between them in their chosen discipline of the sprint. They have been rivals and friends ever since they were on the elite training scheme together.Kate is married to Jack, another British cycling star who has been a gold medal holder in the past. With Kate they have a daughter Sophie, who is a Star Wars nut, but she is tragically suffering from Leukaemia. Kate and jack are flat out with her care and training

Id give this book a 2.5. There are few plot details in this review and no spoilers.Gold is, to put it simply, the story of best friends who are competing for the spot at their last Olympics. Always dramatic, sometimes tender, rarely amusing, Gold is less about cycling and medals, and more about surviving. This was my first Chris Cleave book and probably my last.Let me start with this: Gold had an amazing opening. I love the Olympics. I love the energy behind it that is unlike any other sporting

When my husband, Will, did his guest stint on What Should I Read Next, he named this as his favorite book possibly everand so I made it a winter break priority. I LOVED it and read it in two days. The story centers around two velodrome cyclists who are best friends and arch-rivals, training under the same coach for their last remaining shot at the London Olympics, while respectively navigating personal crises and the life-threatening sickness of a child (note that content warning, please). I was

Sh*t happens.Sometimes it's your fault. You make bad decisions. You decide to push when you shouldn't. You sleep with the wrong person. You have unprotected sex when you should have used a condom. You say hurtful things to someone when you should have kept your mouth shut.Other times, the sh*t is just the universe's random happenings. Your child gets cancer. Your mom commits suicide. A car runs over the only person who ever really loved and understood you.This story of Chris Cleave's is

I feel bad about this. I know people are really excited for this book. And I expect most people will give this book 4 or 5 stars. But it had problems I could not get past. Gold is about 2 world-class cyclists who are training partners and friends in addition to being rivals. Zoe is cold and focused, Kate is warm and willing to sacrifice her sport for her family. Kate's sacrifices happen an awful lot as her daughter, Sophie, has leukemia.Cleave has in the past shown some pretty impressive
