It’s a little different from his earlier works, but fans of Cleave will be excited to know that his new book, Gold, does not disappoint. On the surface, it’s a crisp read and a glimpse into what goes on behind the scenes as two best friends vie for the same Olympic cycling dream. Underneath all this, however, is a rich narrative bustling with all the complexities that being both a woman and an athlete bring. It’s difficult to deny Cleave’s ability to not only get inside a character’s head, but to flesh all that out on the page, as clear and intimate as if they were your own thoughts. Brooke
