Any Human Heart
by William Boyd
I'm giving this four and a half stars. Any Human Heart is the fictional collection of journals of writer, Logan Mountstuart, from his birth in Uruguay, through his English school days, Oxford years, WWII adventures and his post war life until he dies in the 1990s. It is set in so many fascinating places, France, the Bahamas, Spain, Switzerland and Nigeria as well as London and New York. Logan is not always likeable, his life both ordinary and extraordinary, peopled with characters and events from real life, so that it is never boring. It was a wonderful experience, living Logan's life from childhood, all the way to the end, giving such a moving sense of the human experience; love, ego, identity, aging, dignity and longing.
