Book Review: The Heart’s Invisible Furies by John Boyne

Ignore the unwieldy title and ill advised cover art.  This book is for anyone who is a fan of historical fiction. Set in post world war II Ireland, the reader visits the main characters every seven years. It’s a great look at the heroic people who are the foundation for our LGBTQ community.  This isn’t exactly a love letter to Catholicism or Ireland, rather a story about characters you care about. Laugh out loud funny, heartbreaking at times, it was the book the Stantons were the most emotionally invested in this year.
