Reviews - Say Nothing: A True Story Of Murder and Memory In Northern Ireland

I thought this book would focus on the murder of Jean McConville framed by the history of The Troubles, but it was actually the other way around. Perhaps I misunderstood the plot summary. I definitely learned things I didn't know about The Troubles, radicalism and the effigy of violence. Extremist groups are not my cup of tea so I struggled through some parts of this book, but I can appreciate that the author did something important here.

Just didn’t have the time. Seems to be wonderfully written, but I’ve already seen the series on Hulu.
