Golgotha

"Golgotha," the concluding installment of Lavie Tidhar's Maror Trilogy, weaves together the stories of two outsiders in Jerusalem and Haifa across different eras—1882 and 1948—who become intertwined in their quest for a legendary treasure connected to the Second Temple. Set against a backdrop of historical upheaval and shifting loyalties, both characters navigate a landscape filled with mystics, bandits, and killers, confronting their own dreams and the echoes of a distant past. With a richly layered narrative, the novel explores themes of legacy, history, and myth in a land defined by bloodshed and resilience.
