Dawning Gold

Dawning Gold 


When, fresh from a boys-only public school, 16-year-old Graham opts to become a novice farmer, he is quickly plunged into a world of completely new experiences. Shy and knowing nothing of girls, he encounters the friendly banter and innuendo of his co-workers who, in the course of showing him the ropes, also set him up for his first sexual experience. Flattened by a herd of bullocks on his first morning, he quickly learns how to fork potatoes, cut cabbages, feed the cattle, drive a tractor, work a seed drill and spread fertilizer. In all weathers. Then he falls irretrievably and passionately in love.

Graham Davis-Cooke's semi-autobiographical novel is set in the Kent of the 1950s, when much of farming was still manual and the fields and barns were full of working people. It takes you straight into that world, its sights and smells, its grinding hard work and long hours, but also its humour and humanity.

Dawning Gold is written with the confidence and authority of real experience and will be enjoyed by anyone with a love of the countryside, an interest in farms and farming and a curiosity about a now half-forgotten world.
