A History of Loneliness

I need to give this 5 stars because the writing was superb and, well, it’s John Boyne.. a favorite.
This is the story of an Irish boy, Odran Yates, and his path to priesthood. He is a very good man and he becomes aware, at too late of a time, about the abuses going on in the Catholic Church. This covers the years of his life between 1964 and 2013.
Father Odran is such a loving character, and as the awareness unfolds in him, he makes himself accountable for the sins of others.
Boyne takes us into this dark and troubled history of the church with a gripping story, with much depth and sadness.

I've seen mixed reviews of this, which have put me off (even though Boyne is one of my favourite living authors). But I loved your review, Karen!
Fabulous review. Boyne truly is special.

Outstanding review for this beautifully written tale, Karen! Odran was a good man who tried to see the best in people. Boyne is a favorite of mine, too.
