Blurb:
First loves never really go away. Let just get relegated to dreams…or nightmares.
In The Golden Hour sex is intoxicating, empowering and self-defining.
Sex is a tool and a weapon. It is also a reminiscence. Sarah and Malek had a passionate and destructive relationship. At their last encounter, they promised to meet twenty years later in that exact hour at their favorite restaurant in Nice. Now forty-two, Sarah waits at the Il Fortuna Cafe in the golden light of late afternoon Nice.
Will Malek be the same mysterious man he was? Will he still want her? Will he even come?
Excerpt:
Sarah doesn’t mind the heat. She sits on the terrace of Il Fortuna, a small
café pinched into a corner of Old Nice, the same corner she sat in twenty
years ago. The café is mostly unchanged except for the large green
awning protecting the terrace from the oppressive sun. The old town has
a haunted, run-down feeling. Paint peels off its walls. Yellowed dust
cloths cover the furniture. The few people who still have business here
flit through the shadows of the afternoon like wraiths. Brightly colored
scarves protect their faces. Their footsteps ring out on the cobblestones,
an echo of when metal-shod horses cantered through the streets.
From the terrace, Sarah listens for these footsteps thinking, “Is that
him?” She tries not to peer down the winding lane, but inevitably gives
in to nervous curiosity. When it turns out not to be her date, she sits back
heavily in her chair, fiddles her napkin and checks her teeth for stray
lipstick in a cosmetic mirror.
