I finished reading The Heart's Invisible Furies by John Boyne late last night. I thoroughly enjoyed this book; by far the best book I have read so far this year and January has been a good book month!
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".
