Imagine my delight to discover that Gold is a novel about bike racing!It's the story Kate and Zoe, friends and rivals. They were both invited to an elite development camp, and been training together for thirteen years. Each race brings their relationship to a head, highlights Kate's motherly instincts and Zoe's cruel manipulation. They live lives off the track too, but even there, everything is a competition.
They dance this dance for years. Their lives become ever more intertwined and their friendship balances on a razor's edge until their final contest.
Warning: there is a child with cancer, which can feel a bit like it's too easy of a tool for a writer to use. But nothing's perfect.
