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 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.
