![]() ![]() The Heart's Invisible Furies By John Boyne The story is told by O’Dell’s daughter, Norah, and so becomes as much about her as her mother. Redolent of an Ireland now past, much of the novel’s strength comes from the narrative voice. The wonderful Anne Enright explores fame, sexuality and social mores through the lens of fictional Irish star of film and stage, Katherine O’Dell. Often humorous and at times gritty and current, it’s brilliantly paced with a satisfying resolution. The novel follows Greer as she discovers that our heroes, and lives, are often not as perfect as we hope them to be when we are young. The main relationship presented spans years of development between Greer, a young college student at the beginning, and her hero Faith, a legendary feminist speaker and activist. The central premise of this novel, I suppose, is to question the progress of feminism through two feminist characters of different generations.
