The Heart's Invisible Furies

This really is a peculiar book. It covers a lot of themes I wasn't expecting before I started reading (although I suppose I should have, considering what it's about), it has incredibly compelling characters and, even if it feels like it gets comically depressing sometimes, it manages to find a healthy voice with a good deal of humour.

Certainly an ambitious bildungsroman. It felt like The Goldfinch, except... sadder and gayer? My only problem with it is the insane amount of coincidences in it, but I suppose that can be forgiven.
