challenging dark informative reflective sad slow-paced

For someone with limited knowledge of “the Troubles”, this was an informative and insightful read. The narrative weaves between characters and through time in a way more reminiscent of a novel than of non-fiction. 

This book centres on the people who lost the most, and gives a real sense of trauma inflicted on everyone both during the active fighting, and the rippling after effects. I kept thinking this was further in the past but the events at the end of the book were well within my adult lifetime. How do people move on, and should they?

Totally enthralling and truly captivating. It was a slow start but once I got past the first 60 pages, I could not stop reading it. The book is a nonfiction book about a war zone in modern history, engage accordingly.
