Awards" 2015 Patrick White Literary Award" "2015 Kibble Literary Award" "Queensland Premier's Award for Fiction" "New South Wales Premier's People's Choice Award The Golden Age" is an immensely satisfying and generous-hearted story about displacement, recovery, resilience, and love. Thirteen-year-old Frank Gold s family has escaped from Hungary and the perils of World War II to the safety of Australia, but not long after their arrival Frank is diagnosed with polio. He is sent to a sprawling children s hospital called The Golden Age, where he meets Elsa, the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, a girl who radiates pure light. Frank and Elsa fall in love, fueling one another s rehabilitation, facing the perils of polio and adolescence hand in hand, and scandalizing the prudish staff of The Golden Age. Meanwhile, Frank and Elsa s parents must cope with their changing realities. Elsa s mother Margaret, who has given up everything to be a perfect mother, must reconcile her hopes and dreams with her daughter s sickness. Frank s parents, transplants to Australia from a war-torn Europe, are isolated newcomers in a country that they do not love and that does not seem to love them. Frank s mother Ida, a renowned pianist in Hungary, refuses to allow the western deserts of Australia to become her home. But her husband, Meyer, slowly begins to free himself from the past and integrate into a new society. With tenderness and humor, "The Golden Age" tells a deeply moving story about illness and recovery. It is a book about learning to navigate the unfamiliar, about embracing music, poetry, death, and, most importantly, life."
