Gold (Rhodes novel)

Gold is a novel by British author Dan Rhodes published in September 2007 by Canongate. It won the inaugural Clare Maclean Prize for Scottish Fiction and has since been published in five other languages: Spanish, Danish, Finnish, Dutch, Norwegian. It was also one of the 'best books of 2007' according to critics at The Independent. It was controversially shortlisted as a contender for the Greatest Welsh novel, even though the writer is English and the novel had previously won the Clare Mclean Prize for Scottish fiction.
