About The Author

Godfrey Bonavia

Godfrey Bonavia writes across forms and moods—mystery and memory, fable and faith, realist tension and tender humor. His pages carry the textures of place (coastlines, chapels, kitchens), the press of family, and the thrum of consequence. Whether following a breathless pursuit on an airport or the hush of a bedside farewell, his work invites readers to look again and feel deeply.
