Synopsis

In an age of hyper-individualism and relentless consumerism, our longing for meaning and belonging remains unmet. Real community feels increasingly out of reach, and the culture wars - marked by outrage and polarization - have left us morally adrift. Is it still possible to rediscover a shared vision of goodness capable of uniting us?Rumours of a Better Country explores this search for justice, trust, and moral renewal. With insight and hope, Marsh Moyle invites readers to awaken their moral imagination and consider how trust - and the courage to be trustworthy - can form the foundation for genuine freedom and human flourishing. Through the lens of the fictional Cafe Now and Not Yet, readers encounter Palestinians in a Czechoslovakian pub, a Romanian sculpture, and post-communist Ukrainians imagining a better life - vivid glimpses that illuminate why goodness still matters.
