The Heart's Invisible Furies

Cyril Avery is not a real Avery or at least that's what his adoptive parents tell him. But if he isn't a real Avery, then who is he? Born to a teenage girl cast out from her rural Irish community and adopted by a well-to-do if eccentric Dublin couple, Cyril is adrift in the world, anchored only by his friendship with the infinitely more glamourous Julian. At the mercy of fortune and coincidence, he will spend a lifetime coming to know himself and where he came from. Hilarious and touching!
