I enjoyed this tale of a man who buys a gold mine. The title is the definition of a gold mine, often (apparently wrongly) attributed to Mark Twain, It’s actually a story of two pairs of brothers. The hero who has great affection for his brother, although he betrays him with women, buys an old, and possibly ex, gold mine for fun and gets some local friends to help him. They are approached to sell by two rather less real Asian brothers in the mining business, who eventually attack them, and blow them up and burn down their house and do everything in their power to take the mine. In many ways it is of course a movie and like a movie it must and does have a satisfactory resolution. My problem was how to write something useful for Dan, knowing how publishers work. I came up with two quotes: “ Like Jane Austen, without the violence “ which Dan liked, and a slightly longer one… “Smart, sexy, funny and a brilliant story teller. And that’s just me. Wait till you read Dan…”
