by Australia, 6th Nov 2024, –
Golden, the latest novel by S.S. Turner, has been selected as the Book of the Week by Books for Humanity Global. The novel follows Will Watson as he relocates to Australia with his Golden Retriever, Mia, after experiencing personal loss. Through his bond with Mia, Will embarks on a journey of self-discovery, grappling with themes of grief, transformation, and the search for belonging in an unfamiliar environment.
Books for Humanity Global recognised Golden for its exploration of these universal themes, noting that “S.S. Turner uses this deep connection to examine issues of transformation and loss in Golden,” particularly through Mia’s role in Will’s emotional growth. The Chrysalis BREW Project, which awarded Golden the Seal of Excellence, described it as a “humorous yet poignant study of displacement and transformation,” further praising Turner’s balance of introspection and humour.
Turner’s writing career extends beyond Golden. His second novel, The Connection Game, a suspenseful story about the Basilworth family confronting ominous events outside their home, won the December 2022 BREW Readers’ Choice Award Book of the Month and the BREW Book Excellence Award 2023 New Book of the Year. Both Golden and The Connection Game have been published by The Story Plant, reflecting Turner’s growing influence in contemporary fiction.
Turner’s insights into societal issues, which are woven into his novels, offer readers a chance to reflect on their own roles in both understanding and judgment. In a recent Spotlyts interview, Turner emphasised how these concepts are central to his work. “Many readers are drawing the analogy between the way the Basilworths watch the passing feet on the street above and the way people judge others through social media and the digital world in general,” Turner said.
Golden has drawn comparisons to works such as Marley & Me and The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, with its emphasis on personal growth, love, and the impact of loss. Readers who appreciate character-driven stories that look into emotional depth will find Golden a meaningful exploration of transformation and identity.
