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 wasnt 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?

A dark, uncomfortable, but very compelling read.
These have been an excellent series so far, make you think a lot.

BarbaraBB Is it as good as Water and Earth? 1mo

Another excellent addition to Boyne‘s ‘Elements‘ series of books, this time about a plastic surgeon, dealing with burns victims.

Again, like Water and Earth, a very tough subject matter. I love how we get little hints and links to the other books in the series.

I still think the first book is my favourite, but they‘re all so good and I‘m already looking forward to Air, with an idea about which character it will be about.

Out 7th Nov (UK)

BarbaraBB Sounds so good again! I need to preorder this one! Doesn‘t it mention on the final page who the next book will be about? 3mo
Megabooks It does in the print @barbarabb. I think Helen may have a digital ARC. I finished Earth today, and It was really good. I was gutted. I give Water a slight edge. I still love Heart\'s Invisible more, but these are totally on par with my second favorite Boyne, A History of Loneliness, which was a gift from B one year! 😘 😘 3mo
squirrelbrain Yes, it did say at the end @BarbaraBB @Megabooks but I‘d worked it out anyway, based on the job of one of the characters in this book. 🤔 3mo
BarbaraBB @Megabooks my favorites are the same as yours Meg and I also think I (so far) love The Heart‘s Invisible more but maybe that‘ll change! 3mo
