Gold

Miyuki Woodward, lover of pints and instant food, has been taking a holiday to the same seaside town for eight years. She is made to feel at home, at least during pub-quiz nights, when Short Mr Hughes, Tall Mr Hughes and Mr Puw are especially glad to recruit Miyuki and her trivia prowess to their team.

This year, following an act of raw creativity involving some cans of gold spraypaint, Miyuki will take part in the most turbulent events the village has seen since Tall Mr Hughes returned from the pub toilets without remembering to button up.

Tear-inducingly funny, fond and unputdownable, Gold is a novel about love and belonging.
