 'Compelling and satisfying... At times, incredibly funny, at others,
heartrending' Sarah Winman, author of When God Was a Rabbit

Forced to flee the scandal brewing in her hometown, Catherine

Goggin finds herself pregnant and alone, in search of a new life at
just sixteen. She knows she has no choice but to believe that the nun
she entrusts her child to will find him a better life.

Cyril Avery is not a real Avery, or so his parents are constantly

reminding him. Adopted as a baby, he's never quite felt at home
with the family that treats him more as a curious pet than a son. But
it is all he has ever known.

And so begins one man's desperate search to find his place in the
world. Unspooling and unseeing, Cyril is a misguided, heart-
breaking, heartbroken fool. Buffeted by the harsh winds of
circumstance towards the one thing that might save him from
himself, but when opportunity knocks, will he have the courage,
finally, take it?
