Product Information
A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2016 Frank Gold's family, Hungarian jews, flee the perils of World War II for the safety of Australia, but not long after their arrival, thirteen-year-old Frank is diagnosed with polio. He is sent to a sprawling children's hospital called The Golden Age, where he meets Elsa, the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, a girl who radiates pure light. Frank and Elsa fall in love, fueling one another's rehabilitation, facing the perils of illness and adolescence hand in hand, and scandalizing the prudish staff of The Golden Age. Frank and Elsa's parents, too, must cope with their changing realities. Elsa's mother Margaret, who has given up everything to be a perfect mother, must reconcile her hopes and dreams with her daughter's sickness. Frank's parents, transplants to Australia from a war-torn Europe, are isolated newcomers in a country that they do not love and that does not seem to love them. Frank's mother Ida, a renowned pianist in Hungary, refuses to allow the western deserts of Australia to become her home. But her husband, Meyer, slowly begins to free himself from the past and integrate into a new society. With tenderness and humor, The Golden Age tells a deeply moving story about illness, resilience and recovery. It is a book about learning to navigate the unfamiliar, about embracing music, poetry, death, and, most importantly, life.

Reviews
Praise for The Golden Age "The Golden Age serenely affirms the goodness in people and the divinity of the connections between them."--Helen Elliott, The Syndney Morning Herald "The Golden Age is London's most accomplished and keenly felt work to date...her affection for her characters may be contagious."--Geordie Williamson, The Australian "Fearless, graceful and deeply benevolent." --Helen Garner, novelist "A brilliant display of life and change: the transition between war and peace, between love and permission, between terrible paralysis of various kinds and movement."--Brenda Walker, The Monthly "The Golden Age carries the quiet assurance of a classic, which it will most certainly become. " --Tegan Bennett Daylight, Sydney Review of Books Praise for Joan London "[Gilgamesh] captures the romance of wanderlust like no other novel I have read." --Maureen Freely, The Guardian "[The Good Parents] a dark and lovely work is both a novel of ideas and one of emotions...the mystery of enthrallment only deepens, irradiated by London's gorgeous prose." --Roxana Robinson, The New York Times "London's prose is a seamlessly shifting blend of poetry, pathos, and humor."--T he Washington Post, Praise for The Golden Age " The Golden Age is pretty much perfect." -- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "Her writing is cleareyed, generous-hearted, never sentimental...every character, however minor, comes to life in these pages. Like her fictional pianist, London is a virtuoso." -- Krikus Reviews (Starred) "Poetic intensity suffuses the novel...resisting easy sentimentality, [it] presents polio rehabilitation as a metaphor for postwar recovery." -- The New Yorker "Characterization is the novel's primary achievement. Readers will feel affection for Frank and the many secondary characters." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune " T he Golden Age is a beautiful love story that insists upon celebrating the transcendent power of poetry and art over the destructive forces of fear, despair and xenophobia." -- The Dallas Morning News "For all its focus on exile and displacement, 'The Golden Age' is by no means an angry book. It is a quiet, elegiac story of love and renewal and liberation written in crisp prose..." -- Forward " The Golden Age serenely affirms the goodness in people and the divinity of the connections between them." --Helen Elliott, The Syndney Morning Herald " The Golden Age is London's most accomplished and keenly felt work to date...her affection for her characters may be contagious." --Geordie Williamson, The Australian "Fearless, graceful and deeply benevolent." --Helen Garner, novelist "The multi-award-winning London graciously captures young love in a quiet and beautifully sculpted story that is easily devoured in one sitting." -- Library Journal "A brilliant display of life and change: the transition between war and peace, between love and permission, between terrible paralysis of various kinds and movement." --Brenda Walker, The Monthly " The Golden Age carries the quiet assurance of a classic, which it will most certainly become. " --Tegan Bennett Daylight, Sydney Review of Books "London's writing is at its best when bringing to life the coming-of-age story between Frank and Elsa: their hopes and fears (and those of other polio-stricken children), their resolve, and their disappointments. The setting and place are rich and detailed, and Perth feels alive." -- Historical Novel Society Praise for Joan London "[ Gilgamesh ] captures the romance of wanderlust like no other novel I have read." --Maureen Freely, The Guardian "[ The Good Parents ] a dark and lovely work is both a novel of ideas and one of emotions...the mystery of enthrallment only deepens, irradiated by London's gorgeous prose." --Roxana Robinson, The New York Times "London's prose is a seamlessly shifting blend of poetry, pathos, and humor." -- The Washington Post, Praise for The Golden Age "Her writing is cleareyed, generous-hearted, never sentimental...every character, however minor, comes to life in these pages.
