Fire: The powerful and compelling new novel from the bestselling author of The Heart’s Invisible Furies

From internationally bestselling author John Boyne, a challenging and visceral narrative that asks the question- can one cataclysmic moment turn someone into a monster? On the face of it, Freya lives a gilded existence, dancing solely to her own tune. She has all the trappings of wealth and privilege, a responsible job as a surgeon specialising in skin grafts, a beautiful flat in a sought-after development, and a flash car. But it wasn’t always like this. Hers is a life founded on darkness. Did what happened to Freya as a child one fateful summer influence the adult she would become – or was she always destined to be that person? Was she born with cruelty in her heart or did something force it into being? In Fire , John Boyne takes the reader on a chilling, uncomfortable but utterly compelling psychological journey to the epicentre of the human condition, asking the age-old question- nurture – or nature? —- ISBN: 9780857529879 | ISBN10: 0857529870 | ISBN-13: 978-0857529879
