turtlebean 's review for:
The Heart's Invisible Furies
by John Boyne
Hilarious supporting characters, and plausible, thoughtful depiction of how it would have felt to be gay in 60s-70s Ireland.
Usually it drives me bananas whenever a character is willfully dishonest about something, but in this case it actually registered as reasonable.
I was hoping this would get me excited to go to Dublin, but hoo, it's pretty brutal on Ireland (or at least 20th century Ireland; though I guess our track record for that period isn't very impressive either).
I liked the 7 year jumps, it kept a long book moving but not confusingly.
