Adrian Savage: A Novel

A young man moves through artistic and social circles while wrestling with doubt, desire, and duty. An unsettling companion advances a doctrine of repeated lives that intensifies his crisis of faith, and a sister's private writings alongside a fraught romantic attachment compel hard moral choices. The narrative alternates public scenes—funerals, conversations, and social encounters—with intimate reflections, tracing how grief, coincidence, and conviction push him toward decisive action as he seeks a way to reconcile inherited beliefs with modern skepticism.
