"A remarkable, thought-provoking, and tender novel - both timeless and timely - Village of the Golden Gleam invites readers to dream, to feel, and to reflect on the golden gleam within us." Jeyran Main, Review Tales

“…the kind of novel that lingers quietly in the heart long after the last page is turned. It’s a rare thing: calm, wise, and utterly sincere. Highly recommended.” –– Pauli’s Exclusive

The aliens came from the stars over 400 years ago. To survive, they had to become human while preserving as much of themselves as they could.

They flourished for all the right reasons.

The reader might come to believe the transformed aliens are who we should be, and not so much the way we apparently are. The village represents a simpler time in our history where small moments matter and community is everything. It is a place where everyone lives in harmony and good cheer. It is timeless and feels strikingly relevant, too, especially in these days of radical change, calamity, and wars.

The crisis that falls upon them is an unexpected rescue attempt 400 years after their arrival. But can you ever go back to the time when everything was good but not always right? Or should you take a chance with a new vision? After all, you are not who you once were. You are now almost but not quite human.

The Village of the Golden Gleam—what is it but a dream?

"John Talisker's whimsical novel,The Village of the Golden Gleam, gently presents us with big themes dealing with relationships, with change, and with love, loss, and dying. All these themes are interwoven within the magical village, offering an alien perspective that is almost human, but not quite." —Amazon Reviewer.
