It’s been years since Sarah Stewart Taylor released a book, but I was thrilled to pick up something from her again. I’d forgotten just how atmospheric her writing is, but I was soon back under her spell. The pacing was off near the beginning since Maggie doesn’t have any jurisdiction in Ireland, but eventually she found a way into the case and we started getting the twists that lead us to the climax. The book takes place in 1993, the present, and even further in the past as Maggie and Erin are growing up. All of these time periods are easy to follow. They also allow us to see how characters have matured over the years, which I enjoyed. This is Maggie’s story, and I couldn’t help but feel for her as the book progressed and the story unfolded. The story also switches from past to present tense depending on which time period we are reading about. It took my brain a bit of time to adjust to this, but I did rather quickly. This is more serious than the cozies I often read, but if you keep that in mind, you’ll enjoy this book as well.

Sarah Thompson (2 KP) rated The Heart's Invisible Furies in Books
Feb 1, 2018
A tale beginning in Ireland in the 1940s and spanning several countries and decades, it encompasses so many different aspects of life, love and death with the main focus being relationships, bigotry and sexual intolerance.
Beautifully written and somewhat Dickensian in essence, I fell in love with the characters and some of the experiences they had saddened me while others were just utterly hilarious. Cyril and his wry humour was just wonderful.
Just to add from John Boyne's note on The Heart's Invisible Furies "The desire to love and to share one's life with someone is neither a homosexual nor a heterosexual conceit. It's human".
