Josef Gambin's Quest

S. Debono’s debut novel, “It-Tfittxija għall-Ġenwin ta' Josef Gambin”, introduces us to the personal journey of Josef Gambin whose adolescence and youth are beset by a constant search for meaning, identity and authenticity.

Debono’s powerful narrative indirectly raises questions which should challenge society; do we take into account that young adults are also on a quest for meaning? At what age should religious organisations seek to recruit vocations? How can we help individuals make a free and informed decision rather than a conditioned one?

The novel, published in 2016 by Horizons, can be purchased online or from several leading book shops.
