The Heart's Invisible Furies

Over seven turbulent decades, The Heart’s Invisible Furies follows Cyril Avery, an orphan shuttled between a grief-stricken mother and an adoptive family who never quite understand him. As he grapples with identity, belonging, and the burden of Ireland’s oppressive conservatism, Cyril embarks on a winding journey—from youthful confusion to fierce self-acceptance—with heartbreak, humor, and unwavering hope. This sweeping, emotionally rich novel blends satire, tenderness, and raw honesty into an unforgettable coming-of-age saga.
