Cyril Avery is not the real Avery, at least that's what his father keeps telling him. And he'll never be. But then who is he? Cyril's mother, a young girl, was banished from her native Irish village when it became known that she was expecting a child. Cyril was adopted by a wealthy and extremely eccentric couple from Dublin. He grew up well off but deeply lonely - until he met Julian, flighty and extremely charming. Thus began Cyril's life-long story, full of fortunes and disappointments, incredible coincidences and fateful deeds. It would be a journey back to himself, to his identity, to his roots, even if they tried to reject him. John Boyne's new and most personal novel offers an impressive panorama of life in Ireland from the mid-20th century to the present day, seen through the eyes of an ordinary man. It is a story of how the rage, jealousy, envy, intolerance that tormented a man and a whole country gradually subsides, giving way to peace. A touching novel full of irony and humor about an era that can already be called bygone.
