Fire
by John Boyne
Doubleday
In Fire, the third of his Elements Quartet, John Boyne takes us on a chilling, uncomfortable but utterly compelling psychological journey to the centre of the human condition, asking the age-old question: nurture or nature?
Did you read the first two? Water about a mother on the run from her past, and Earth about a young soccer star on trial. Now there’s Fire about a successful surgeon grappling with childhood trauma. The final instalment, Air, will be released in June, completing the tapestry of intersecting lives. Essentially, in this series, John Boyne is exploring responsibility, guilt, blame, trauma, and our capacity for redemption. The Elements Quartet is both an engrossing drama and a moving examination of why and how we allow crime to occur,
Yes, these are unsettling reads. Yes, they challenge us to confront our own conceptions of guilt and innocence. But if there’s anyone we can trust with the handling of this devastating subject, it’s John Boyne.
