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

Winner of the Orwell Prize for Political Writing 2019″A must read” Gillian FlynnOne night in December 1972, Jean McConville, a mother of ten, was abducted from her home in Belfast and never seen alive again. Her disappearance would haunt her orphaned children, the perpetrators of the brutal crime and a whole society in Northern Ireland for decades.Through the unsolved case of Jean McConville`s abduction, Patrick Radden Keefe tells the larger story of the Troubles, investigating Dolours Price, the first woman to join the IRA, who bombed the Old Bailey; Gerry Adams, the politician who helped end the fighting but denied his IRA past; and Brendan Hughes, an IRA commander who broke their code of silence. A gripping story forensically reported, `Say Nothing` explores the extremes people will go to for an ideal, and the way societies mend – or don`t – after long and bloody conflict.
