The Heart's Invisible Furies

Author: John Boyne

Cyril Avery’s life unfolds like a bittersweet symphony, echoing the tumultuous history of Ireland itself. Born to an unwed mother in post-war Dublin, he navigates a world of secrets, shame, and unexpected kindness. Boyne’s masterful storytelling had me laughing one moment and wiping away tears the next. Through Cyril’s eyes, we witness a nation’s struggle with identity, sexuality, and the weight of tradition. A poignant, unforgettable journey that left me pondering long after the final page.

Long after we're gone, the stories we tell about ourselves will be all that's left.
