Description Toward Books Golden State

An exquisite literary drama, with a ripped-from-the headlines urgency, Golden State asks hard questions about the limits of loyalty, and what it means to be a sister, a daughter, a wife, and a mother.

All her life, Natalie Askedahl has played the part of the good girl. Growing up as the youngest child in one of California’s most prominent political families, she worshipped her big brother, Bobby, a sensitive math prodigy who served as her protector and confidante. But after Bobby left home at sixteen on a Princeton scholarship, something changed between them as Bobby retreated deeper into his own head. Now that Natalie is happily married, with two young daughters, a satisfying job, and a house in the Berkeley Hills, her only real regret is losing Bobby.

Then, a bomb explodes in the middle of her ideal-seeming life. Her brother is accused of carrying out a lethal campaign of terrorism against California’s universities. Thrust into overnight notoriety, Natalie is torn between helping him and protecting her own family. The decisions she makes will send her down a rabbit hole of confusion, lies, and betrayals that threaten to destroy her relationships with everyone she holds dear. As her life splits irrevocably into before and after, what she begins to learn is that some of the most dangerous things in the world are the stories we tell ourselves.

Criticism About Books Golden State

Natalie is a third grade teacher at a school she and her husband helped build. Married to a successful lawyer with two daughters, Natalie herself is the daughter of a prominent man in California's history. Her mother and older sister and brother are all still alive, yet none of them are close-knit. When a bomb explodes at a nearby university where Natalie's oldest daughter is on-campus visiting, Natalie takes note of a bomber who has been terrorizing her state for over 10 years. As she reads a

I entered to win this book from a Goodreads' First Reads giveaway, and while I won it, I was not terribly enthusiastic about starting it. The title was not all that inspiring, and the blurbs in the giveaway and on Goodreads didn't seem nearly as interesting once I won the book as they must have seemed when I entered the contest. But I read it, because I had it on my stack of TBR books, and I was pleasantly surprised. Rather than being about terrorism or a sort of journalistic account of a

I'm the first person so far that's read this book that hasn't liked it? This review may go spoilerish..Be warned.I've actually been arguing with myself over the last hour whether to push on and finish it or just to say "hell with it"...Hell won.I thought at first that I was hating on the book because I absolutely despised the main character, but no. I was bored. I spent over 3 hours on this book and I was completely bored the whole time. This book is drama queen world times a million.

The bay area was in the midst of an autumn heat wave, hot, dry, and unnatural. So begins Stephanie Kegans riveting novel, Golden State. In a story as timely as yesterdays headlines. Natalie Askedahl, daughter of a politically influential father, married, a teacher, mother of two, is suddenly faced with a moral dilemma that will tear at the heart of her love of her family, while threatening the stability of her marriage to a successful attorney. Her brother, Bobby, a brilliant student, who has

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an opportunity to read an advance copy of Golden State. I liked this book. It looks at what could happen to a family when it turns out that one member has committed a series of horrible crimes out of delusional political beliefs. The story is told from Natalie's perspective, and it is her brother Bobbie who is implicated in a series of university campus bombings. Natalie is torn by a deep sense of love and loyalty to her brother. Sitting on the

Received advanced copy as Goodreads Giveaway. From a not so idyllic upper class upbringing to a decision that tears at the very heart of familial love. Family attics are full of memories, some of which are about members we deem embarrassing and would like to forget, others we share with pride with the community, and others are downright frightening. This powerful tale of the love between a sister and her older brother morphs into how their relationship impacts the rest of the family as well as

I loved this book! It is totally engrossing and I really just wanted to stay home and read it and find out what happened next, and who did what, and why, and then what......That said, this is a dark novel with twisty moral questions and a difficult story line. A completely compelling read. If you are looking for light n easy, sunshine, happy, happy stuff....look elsewhere. But it is not depressing (at least not to me) it's just dark - and GREAT.
