- FROM THE AWARD-WINNING, INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE OTHER HAND 'An inspirational and moving novel in so many ways, and everyone should read it' The Times'Strikingly well written' Observer'Immensely enjoyable' Financial TimesKate and Zoe are friends but also ardent rivals - athletes at the top of their game, fighting to compete in the world's greatest sporting contest. Each scarred by tragedy, and each with a great deal to lose, they must choose between family and glory and ask themselves: what will I sacrifice?Gold captures the extraordinary effort and dedication that go into the pursuit of victory. But this life-affirming novel is about more than sport. It is about human endurance, motherhood and love, and what enables us all, in our different ways, to achieve the remarkable.'The wait has been worth it . . . As with all Cleave's work, Gold probes the limit of what its protagonists will do to identify and protect what they really cherish. And that, in Cleave's confident hands, truly is exhilarating' Independent
