From John Boyne, the beloved New York Times bestselling author of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, comes a sweeping, big-hearted saga that follows one ordinary man across the whole of his extraordinary life. It’s the kind of book you press into a friend’s hands the moment you’ve finished it.
Meet Cyril Avery. He’s not a real Avery, or so his eccentric adoptive parents are fond of reminding him. Born out of wedlock to a teenage girl cast out from her rural Irish community, Cyril spends a lifetime searching for the things so many of us long for: an identity, a home, a sense of belonging. Along the way, there’s friendship, heartbreak, and a story of Ireland itself, told from the 1940s right up to today.
It will make you laugh out loud on one page and reach for the tissues on the next. That’s the magic of it.
The accolades speak for themselves:
This is Boyne at his most transcendent. A tender, funny, deeply human novel about the redemptive power of the human spirit and the families we build for ourselves.
Perfect for a rainy afternoon by the cove, with the sea air drifting in and the pages turning long into the evening. Come browse, come linger. We’d love to help you find your next favorite read.
