Sean McFall befriends the son of a wealthy mining family, and is forced to decide how far he is willing to go to remain inside their golden circle.How far will Sean McFall go to remain in the inner circle of the wealthy Goldberg family?
How far would you go to be accepted?
When Sean McFall encounters golden-haired David Goldberg and his larger-than-life father, Saul, he is dazzled by the family’s riches, power, and ease in social situations. The bright lives of the Goldbergs are profoundly different from those of Sean’s working-class parents. But as Sean grows up and is pulled closer to the centre of the Goldberg family by the gravitational force of their wealth and position, he discovers a tyrannical and abusive patriarch, an estranged relative bent on revenge, and dark family secrets. As he struggles to reconcile his first impressions with the realities he later confronts, Sean must determine who he is, what he will stand for, and whether he can resist the attraction that has dominated his life.
Rich in understanding of the relationships between parents and children, the loyalty we show our friends, and how a family’s past haunts its present, The Great Goldbergs is about the compromises we make in pursuit of wealth and acceptance, and for love.
A novel about a young boy’s journey to the dark core of a fabulously wealthy family and to an understanding of his own heart.
Explores themes of family, friendship, love, and loss of innocence.The author’s previous novel, The Art of Being Lewis, was described as “A literary page-turner with profound insight into the stories we make our own” by Atlantic Books Today.
