Golden Deeds by Catherine Chidgey

Golden Deeds by Catherine Chidgey

A tale of murder mystery and Meccano Golden Deeds tells the story of the middle-aged Patrick Mercer, lying unconscious in a hospital bed: of the teenaged Laura Pearse's disappearance and the grieving of her bereft parents; and the story of Colette, a young woman seeking a new life in a strange city. In warm, compassionate and beautiful prose, Catherine Chidgey delineates the connections which, however fragile, bind people together across continents and generations. 'Magnanimous and merciless, a work reminiscent at times of darkest Atwood...A witty and melancholy alchemy of heat and chill, a work of craft and fluency, which revitalizes the book in all its guises...for those who love books, Catherine Chidgey is a find' TLS

"'One of my novels of the year..immensely satisfying...Superb' Time Out"

Catherine Chidgey was born in 1970. She is the author of In a Fishbone Church, published by Picador, which won the Montana Prize for best first novel in New Zealand, and was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize. She lives in Wellington, New Zealand.
