• A bold, funny epic following one man's life against the backdrop of twentieth-century Ireland.
• Features fantastic eccentric characters and dark humour underpinned by a touching love story.
• Told with great compassion and ultimately a great love of life.
• From the author of John Boyne's acclaimed quartet, THE ELEMENTS.

Cyril Avery is reminded constantly that he is not a real Avery, having been adopted as a baby. Feeling more like a curious pet than a beloved son, Cyril sets out as a young adult to find where he belongs. Misguided and often in the wrong place at the wrong time, he remains resolute in his determination to change things and find the courage to be himself. His story connects with that of Catherine Goggin, a sixteen-year-old finding herself alone and pregnant.
