About this audiobook
The new novel from David Baddiel, comedian, columnist and author of the critically-praised The Secret Purposes.
As Eli Gold, a famous old writer lies dying in a hospital in New York, his family gather around his bed. His first wife Violet is too old to travel from London but Harvey, their son, who has never emerged from the shadow of his overpowering father, makes the journey. And there is Colette, a six-year old daughter from a second marriage, struggling to make sense of the fact her father is about to leave her.
The Death of Eli Gold is a mesmerising family drama which confounds the expectations anyone might have that David Baddiel as a TV comedian. It is the work of a very fine novelist, here writing at the peak of his powers.

Reviews for The Death of Eli Gold
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have never before read a more uncomfortable yet outstanding piece of fiction. Baddiel is a spectacularly accomplished writer and the way he weaves the characters’s stories in and out is remarkable. However, the book is heavy and not for everyone.
