WHAT THE REVIEWERS SAY

"The Golden Age is the rare novel that makes its reader want to cry at almost every single page, but manages to be uplifting at the same time ... The novel’s passages about both the war and the disease are spare but no less brutal for that, leaving the imagination to do the hard work of understanding just what the characters have endured."
–SARAH SELTZER, FLAVORWIRE

"London's luminous prose that propels the book forward ... The 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."
–MAY-LEE CHAI, THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS

"Characterization is the novel’s primary achievement. Readers will feel affection for Frank and the many secondary characters."
–KATHERINE BAILEY, THE MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE
