Summary
The third novel in the dazzling Last Hundred Years trilogy from the winner of the Pulitzer Prize.
It's 1987. A visit from a long-lost relative brings the Langdons together again on the family farm - a place almost unrecognisable from the remote Iowan farmland Walter and Rosanna once owned.
Whilst a few have stayed, most have spread wide across the US, but all are facing social, economic and political challenges unlike anything their ancestors encountered.
Richie Langdon, finally out from under his twin brother's shadow, finds himself running for Congress almost unintentionally and completely underprepared for the world-changing decisions he will have to make. Charlie, the charmer, recently found, struggles to find his way. Jesse's son, Guthrie, set to take over the family farm, is deployed to Iraq, leaving it in the hands of his younger sister, Felicity, who must defend the land from more than just the extremes of climate change.
Moving through the 1990s to our own moment and beyond, this last instalment sees the final repercussions of time on the Langdon family. After a hundred years of personal change and US history, filled with words unsaid and moments lost, Golden Age brings to a magnificent conclusion the century-long portrait of one unforgettable family.

A story of yesterday, today and tomorrow
I am bereft that I have come to the end of this brilliant trilogy. I feel that The Langdons are personal friends and I am really going to miss them.
This was a wonderful story, weaving together families, friends and facts. Jane Smiley is to be applauded for her ability to craft a story that is as fascinating as it is relevant. A living history.
Finally a word for Lorelei King whom I have listened to before and absolutely love her narration.
I am jealous of anyone yet to listen to this trilogy, you have it all before you- enjoy.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
