Description

During WWII, a Jewish boy copes with a new homeland, a polio diagnosis-and falling in love for the first time. Frank Gold's family, Hungarian Jews, have fled 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. Soon, 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. Their parents, meanwhile, are coping with their own challenges. Elsa's mother must reconcile her hopes and dreams with the reality of her daughter's sickness. Frank's parents are isolated newcomers in a country they do not love and that does not seem to love them back. Frank's mother, a renowned pianist in Hungary, refuses to allow the western deserts of Australia to become her home. But her husband slowly begins to free himself from the past and integrate into a new society. A winner of multiple literary awards in Australia, The Golden Age is a deeply moving novel about hardship and resilience.
