“The years apart will feel like nothing compared to what we have before us”
Also, it moved me a little to see my country being mentioned casually in the book (Mauritius) ♥️

The Heart's Invisible Furies is incredibly moving, with each chapter narrating Cycil's life in seven year increments. Despite the hardship of his life, from growing up gay in Ireland in the 40s to the AIDs pandemic in the 80s, Cycil's narration is incredibly funny. Often blinded by his own emotions, it's easy to get swept up in his struggles through relationships and identity, that when revelations come to life I was as shocked as he was. The plot had predictable moments with threads of coincidences too good to be true weaving throughout the story, but it's something that doesn't deminish how much I loved this book.
If you can give yourself enough time to read this book in one sitting, I fully recommend it.
