Monica Furlong’s standalone fiction includes “The Cat’s Eye” (1977) and “Cousins” (1983), two novels that sit outside her Doran fantasy series. These books show Furlong working in realistic rather than fantastical modes, applying her observational skills to contemporary settings and relationships.
While less widely known than her Doran books, these standalones reflect Furlong’s range as a writer. Her background in journalism and her interest in human relationships inform the novels, which deal with family dynamics and personal discovery without the magical elements of her children’s fantasy.
