Critics Review

Extraordinary. The Golden Boy is both a love story and a family drama, where the past gives purpose to the present action. I can’t recall ever reading such a satisfying ending… nor cheering for characters more enthusiastically. * Elin Hilderbrand, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Swan Song and The Perfect Couple *
With The Golden Boy, Patricia Finn has constructed something miraculous - an immersive, profoundly moving story about friendship, marriage, betrayal, and redemption that spans across generations and oceans. She writes with a philosopher’s deep wisdom, and a screenwriter’s talent for satisfyingly messy characters and wholly gripping plots. Combine all of that with the fact that The Golden Boy is also very, very funny, and what you’ve got is a novel that’s about as perfect as they come. * Grant Ginder, author of The People We Hate at the Wedding *
The Golden Boy is not just an astoundingly ambitious novel, but also - and more importantly, in my opinion - a wildly entertaining one, by turns hilarious and heartbreaking. Bravo, Patricia Finn! * Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls and the North Bath trilogy of Fool novels *
