Acerca de este título

'Compelling and satisfying... At times, incredibly funny, at others, heartrending' Sarah Winman, author of When God Was a Rabbit

Cyril Avery is not a real Avery or at least that’s what his adoptive parents tell him. And he never will be. But if he isn’t a real Avery, then who is he?

Born out of wedlock to a teenage girl cast out from her rural Irish community and adopted by a well-to-do if eccentric Dublin couple via the intervention of a hunchbacked Redemptorist nun, Cyril is adrift in the world, anchored only tenuously by his heartfelt friendship with the infinitely more glamourous and dangerous Julian Woodbead.

At the mercy of fortune and coincidence, he will spend a lifetime coming to know himself and where he came from – and over his three score years and ten, will struggle to discover an identity, a home, a country and much more.

In this, Boyne's most transcendent work to date, we are shown the story of Ireland from the 1940s to today through the eyes of one ordinary man. The Heart's Invisible Furies is a novel to make you laugh and cry while reminding us all of the redemptive power of the human spirit.

Reseñas de la crítica

Tender, dark, hilarious, heartbreaking—I loved it
It’s been a long time since I read anything so compelling and satisfying. At times, incredibly funny, at others, heartrending
the most beautifully written and crafted novel ... heartbreaking
By turns savvy, witty and achingly sad . . . This is a novelist at the top of his game.
I ran through the whole range of human emotions while reading this brilliant novel. It's a masterpiece. (Cathy Rentzenbrink, author of The Last Act of Love)
Screamingly funny one minute and heartbreaking the next.
A special read
Boyne creates lightness out of doom, humour out of desperately sad situations, creating a compelling page-turner… a terrific read.
An epic novel…. Worthy of the great master of the Irish comic novel, Flann O’Brien. The Heart’s Invisible Furies proves that John is not just one of Ireland’s best living novelists but also one of the best novelists of Ireland.
Written with verve, humour and heart…at its core, The Heart’s Invisible Furies aspires to be not just the tale of Cyril Avery, a man buffeted by coincidence and circumstance, but the story of Ireland itself
