The Golden Hour

Set in a struggling 1980s monastic community in the Galilee, The Golden Hour follows Adam Travers, a young poet seeking spiritual purpose amidst a landscape of stark beauty and buried secrets. As the community debates a controversial new building project, the arrival of a forbidden local couple and the erratic behaviour of a haunted American, Alan, fracture the group’s fragile peace. Decades after a tragic confrontation under a mountain storm, Adam returns to find the community transformed, finally confronting the guilt of his youth and the enduring power of grace.
The Golden Hour is a poignant, atmospheric novel that explores the collision of youthful idealism, spiritual isolation, and the weight of long-buried secrets.
