Set against the vivid landscapes of Los Angeles and unfolding with the evanescence of a dream or a memory, Goldenseal peels away the layers of an intimate female friendship to reveal a stirring and haunting story about the search for connection and the lingering echoes of lost love. Considered a mix of A Gentleman in Moscow and My Brilliant Friend, this “powerful saga of a family’s immigration and reinvention…explores themes of love, betrayal, and reconciliation…and skillfully evokes [a] gilded world of hotels and Hollywood, and deeply explores the women’s fraught friendship from both points of view. Readers will be rapt.” (Publishers Weekly)
Copies of Goldenseal are available for purchase through the Mark Twain Store; proceeds benefit The Mark Twain House & Museum. Books will be shipped after the event. We regret that we are NOT able to ship books outside the United States as it is cost-prohibitive to do so.
