Über diesen Titel

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 10, 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.

What a spectacular audio book. I gasped. I laughed. I cried. I felt all the feelings that one does with a dynamic story. I felt like I was right there with all the characters during the entire epic tale. I'm now so very sad that the tale has ended and I must leave the world created with words.

Beyond the amazing characters, I enjoyed the descriptive scenery and the passage of time - a good 70 years of story.

I also absolutely adored the narrator's voice. Just perfect!!

It took me some time to get into this book but it was well-worth the wait. Beautifully written novel with complex characters, who I did not always like (particularly the main character), but came to understand. Somewhat predictable at certain times but in a pleasing way. Narrator was fantastic.

Beautiful and complex story.

Deeply moving and beautifully read. Something to come back to again and again. Full of insight and wisdom about the beauty and the tragedy of the thing we call life.

Flawless.

Wow - this book grabbed me from the beginning and took me on a 70-year whirlwind journey that had me laughing, crying, being angry. It starts dramatically with Catherine Goggan being thrown out of her village by the parish priest because of her pregnancy and follows her and her son Cyril’s journey in 7 year gaps. It’s cleverly done, well plotted, entertaining, moving and really informative - it put me in the head of a gay Irish man, allowing me to understand and empathize with his struggles and actions. It contains mainly flawed characters which are depicted with gentle humour and satisfying and believable plot resolutions. Highly recommend!

Highly immersive, entertaining and informative saga
