The Golden Age Textual Analysis Thread

A place to discuss anything related to the VCE English text 'The Golden Age' by Joan London

Quote from: VCAA Text List Blurb
London, Joan, The Golden Age, Vintage, 2014 (A) (4)
The Golden Age tells the story of Frank Gold, a 13-year-old refugee recovering at The Golden Age Children’s Polio Convalescent Home. Frank, or Ferenc, is learning to walk again but is also dealing with his memories of his time in war-torn Hungary. He forms a close relationship with Elsa, a fellow patient, who inspires his poetry. Set in 1950s Perth, the novel explores grand themes such as the refugee experience, love, memory, fear and isolation through the microcosm of The Golden Age. This is a surprisingly uplifting telling of a sad and moving story. [/size]
