At the heart of “The Whirring” is a seemingly average family, whose lives begin to echo with the sound of an ancient hum—a soft, yet profound noise that Mema, the family matriarch, discovers.

The novel is set in a universe where reality intertwines with fantasy. Here, the vast expanse of the cosmos isn’t just a space filled with stars and void; it’s a reflection of the inner worlds of Donnel’s characters.

Donnel’s prose is rich and evocative, capturing both the grandeur of the cosmos and the intimate moments of family life with equal finesse. His characters are meticulously crafted, with their flaws and strengths painting a picture of people who are relatable and real.

These elements are woven into a tapestry that shows how our connections can act as compasses, guiding us through storms to clearer understanding.
The spiritual dimension of “The Whirring” complements its grounded, emotional core. As the family’s journey unfolds—both physically and spiritually—they encounter philosophical questions that are as old as humanity itself. What is the nature of existence? How do love and faith influence our lives? And what secrets does the universe hold that can illuminate our understanding of these age-old questions? Donnel tackles these with a narrative grace that is both rare and captivating.
