Cronus' Children by Yves Navarre
The novel follows the Prouillan family as they live under the long shadow of their father’s coercive decision to have his youngest son subjected to a surgical procedure meant to erase his homosexuality. On the son’s fortieth birthday—an anniversary of that event—each family member and those close to them are shown confronting guilt, memory and the weight of their shared past. Through multiple perspectives, the book offers a compact, emotionally charged portrait of how family shapes identity and the difficulty of breaking away.
