+ Want to read

Based on the author's own experiences, 'Golden Handcuffs' is a novel about ambition, resilience and shattered dreams. It is about two young and optimistic 20-somethings, starting out in the world - a world that is apparently 'their oyster' - and the gradual realisation of what it means to sell your soul to the City.
