Theo of Golden

By Allen Levi

Book Overview

Questions linger about Theo, a pleasant but mysterious stranger, after his arrival in the southern city of Golden.

Who is he, and why is he here?

He arrives early one spring and by chance - or is it? - he visits a coffee shop where 92 framed pencil portraits are on display. Inspired, Theo sets out on a mission of purchasing all the portraits one at a time and quietly bestowing them on their 'rightful owners.'

Stories are told; friendships are born; and lives are changed.

Theo of Golden is a beautifully crafted story about the power of creative generosity, the importance of wonder to a purposeful life, and the far-reaching possibilities of anonymous kindness.

Customer Reviews

A Masterpiece!

Theo of Golden by Allen Levi is one of the most perceptive, reverent, soul-stirring, uplifting, profound, eloquent books I’ve ever read. I just finished with tears streaming and already I feel the need to reread it to allow its wisdom to be absorbed fully.

Hands down the best book I’ve read in years

This book is such a feel good book. Encourages you to serve and love others in a unique way. So, so good!

A stunning body of art in words

This older reader identified joyfully with the protagonist of this well crafted story; as the type of man I aspire to be, and be seen as. It is way cool to see the preparation of the author in his studies and his poignant song writing that prepared him for this masterpiece. Thank you Allen Levi for your remarkable contribution to world beauty.

Amazing

Such an amazing story. I fell in love with the characters and felt changed by it all somehow. Live life and talk to strangers!

Theo of Golden. Superb in every way.

Very possibly the best novel I’ve ever read. Cried huge tears. Laughed out loud. The kind of book you don’t want to ever end, but can’t stop reading. I would love to meet the author, sit down with him, look at his face, and hear his story.

Theo of Golden is a delight for the word pallet. I read once. Put down and reread 3 weeks later.

Each character is so well thought out and there is this beautiful thread that leads you to the surprise at the end.

Masterpiece to be relished!

Theo of Golden showcased Levi's sublime writing and characterization. This story will stay with you forever.
