This week's pick: Gold by Chris Cleave

Due out July 10, 2012



Book Description taken from Amazon:

Building on the tradition of Little Bee, Chris Cleave again writes with elegance, humor, and passion about friendship, marriage, parenthood, tragedy, and redemption.Gold is the story of Zoe and Kate, world-class athletes who have been friends and rivals since their first day of Elite training. They’ve loved, fought, betrayed, forgiven, consoled, gloried, and grown up together. Now on the eve of London 2012, their last Olympics, both women will be tested to their physical and emotional limits. They must confront each other and their own mortality to decide, when lives are at stake: What would you sacrifice for the people you love, if it meant giving up the thing that was most important to you in the world?

I almost selected this one today. I loved Little Bee so was thrilled to read about this one. Great pick.

I think this book sounds really good. And timely with the London Olympics coming this summer. Putting it on my list to watch for.
