Description

Sirius, Thomas Trelone's great experiment, is a remarkable creature with the brain and intelligence of a human being. Raised alongside his youngest daughter, Plaxy, Sirius forms a deep and close bond with her, as well as exploring the full spectrum of human knowledge and experience.

Despite his extraordinary abilities, Sirius struggles with conflicts that cannot be resolved due to his non-human nature. This poignant exploration of identity and belonging raises important questions about what it means to be alive.

A thought-provoking and deeply moving novel, Sirius is a powerful exploration of the human condition.
