For the month of September, the HSL Book Group will discuss The Heart’s Invisible Furies by John Boyne.
This 2017 novel tells the story of Ireland from the 1940s to today through Cyril, a gay man born out of wedlock to a teenage girl and adopted by an eccentric well-to-do Dublin couple. Adrift in the world, Cyril is at first anchored only by his friendship with the infinitely more glamorous and dangerous Julian.
The HSL Book Group meets on the third Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Language, Literature, and History Section. New members are always welcome. No registration necessary. Inquiries about the Hawaii State Library Book Group can be directed to hslbookgroup@gmail.com or (808) 586-3499.
