September 1992. A new school, unfamiliar faces, early buses, strict professors-and the feeling that everything important is about to begin.
Fifteen-year-old Tom Koren starts his first year at a technical high school in Celje, Slovenia. At first, his world is made of classrooms, timetables, new friendships and the small daily challenges of finding his place among people who were strangers only days before.
Then there is Anya.
And there are rules-some reasonable, some less so. As the school year unfolds, ordinary decisions begin to matter more than Tom expects. Friendship, loyalty, first love and the desire for a little more freedom slowly collide with expectations at school and at home.
Set in newly independent Slovenia during the 1992-93 school year, The Hours That Were Ours is an intimate coming-of-age novel about the moments that seem insignificant while we are living them-and become unforgettable only later.
A story of friendship, first love, school corridors, cassette tapes, early-morning buses, and the hours we thought would last forever.
