Why read it?
1 author picked The Golden Land as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The endearing characters and evocative settings drew me in from the first page. We feel the angst of being torn between cultures, mourning for a time and place that can no longer exist, and the indelible power of first love. Shick pulls out all the stops, with her brilliant descriptions and artful plot lines that weave in and out of the decades, but it's not heavy-handed or ever too much. We also get a glimpse into a time and place few of us know anything about, which is one of the reasons I love historical fiction.
