THE HEARTS INVISIBLE FURIES - JOHN BOYNE KARTON...

John Boyne's acclaimed quartet  THE ELEMENTS  is available for pre-order now.   'A bold  funny
epic' Observer  'Compelling and satisfying . . . At times  incredibly funny  at others 
heartrending' Sarah Winman  author of Still Life   ___   Cyril Avery is not a real Avery. At
least  that's what his parents make sure to remind him. Adopted as a baby  he feels more and
more disconnected with the family that treats him more as a curious pet  rather than a beloved
son.  So  as a young adult  Cyril decides to embark on a quest to find his place in the world.
Sometimes misguided and often in the wrong place at the wrong time  life has dealt him a
difficult hand but Cyril is resolute that he can change things  and find the courage to be
himself.  And in doing so  his story will come across that of Catherine Goggin  a young 
pregnant woman finding herself alone and isolated at only sixteen. There is a place in the
world for both of them  and Cyril is determined to find it.  ___    What readers are saying: 
'The story of the life of one man  told against the backdrop of twentieth century Ireland'
'Simultaneously heart-breaking  funny and life-affirming.' 'Fantastic eccentric characters and
dark humour is underpinned by a touching love story  perfect.' 'The saddest and happiest book I
have read . . . told with great compassion and ultimately a great love of life.'
