When the mysterious Nero Golden arrives in New York with his three sons, he seems determined to erase his past and reinvent himself in America. Settling into a grand house in Greenwich Village, the family adopts new names and begins a life of wealth, secrecy, and self-invention.

Observed by their young neighbor René, an aspiring filmmaker, the Goldens become the subject of fascination and speculation. As René documents their lives, cracks begin to appear beneath their carefully constructed identities, revealing hidden histories, personal conflicts, and dangerous ambitions.

Set against the backdrop of a changing America, The Golden House is a sweeping, satirical novel about power, identity, and reinvention. Blending myth, politics, and contemporary culture, it explores the illusions we create—and the truths that inevitably surface.
