7. "The Heart's Invisible Furies" by John Boyne
《无形之怒》(约翰•伯恩)
Cyril Avery is not a real Avery -- or at least, that's what his adoptive parents tell him. And he never will be. But if he isn't a real Avery, then who is he? Born out of wedlock to a teenage girl cast out from her rural Irish community and adopted by a well-to-do if eccentric Dublin couple via the intervention of a hunchbacked Redemptorist nun, Cyril is adrift in the world, anchored only tenuously by his heartfelt friendship with the infinitely more glamorous and dangerous Julian Woodbead. At the mercy of fortune and coincidence, he will spend a lifetime coming to know himself and where he came from - and over his many years, will struggle to discover an identity, a home, a country, and much more.
西里尔•埃弗里不是真正的埃弗里家人——起码他的养父养母是这么告诉他的,而且永远也不会是。可如果他不是真正的“埃弗里”,他到底是谁呢?西里尔的妈妈是一个未婚先孕、被赶出村子的爱尔兰少女。在至圣救主会的驼背修女的撮合下,他被一对富裕却有些古怪的都柏林夫妇收养。西里尔在红尘漂浮,唯一能算得上牵挂的就是他的挚友,美丽而危险的朱利安•伍德庇德。造化弄人,西里尔穷其一生都在追寻一个问题的答案,“我是谁,我从哪里来”。多年来,他努力找寻自己的身份、一个家、一个国,以及更多未解之谜。
