Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe

dark emotional informative mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

A meticulously-researched well-written book about the disappearance and murder of a mother of ten that brings to light many aspects of The Troubles in Northern Ireland and key players in same. I was impressed by the empathy, nuance, and broad-mindedness of the author. In a story where it would be easy to paint a picture of pure heroes and evil villains, the author frames a much more complex narrative about what moves people to political violence. Quite an accomplishment.
