Golden Country: A Novel
Jennifer Gilmore
Spanning the first half of the twentieth century, Golden Country vividly brings to life the intertwining stories of three immigrants seeking their fortunes—the handsome and ambitious Seymour, a salesman, gangster, Broadway-producer; the gentle and pragmatic Joseph, a door-to-door salesman who is driven to invent a cleanser effective enough to wipe away the shame of his brother’s mob connections; and the irresistible Frances Gold, who grows up in Brooklyn, stars in Seymour’s first show, and marries the man who invents television. Their three families are brought together for the first time by the engagement of Seymour’s son and Joseph’s daughter, who must endure the inheritance of wealth and the burdens of their past.
