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.
