Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland
$21.44 online at Bookshop.org
Jean McConville's abduction was one of the most notorious episodes of the Troubles. Everyone in the neighborhood knew the IRA was responsible, but in a climate of fear and paranoia no one would speak of it. In 2003, five years after an accord brought uneasy peace to Northern Ireland, human bones were found on a beach. McConville's children knew it was their mother when told a blue safety pin was attached to the dress; with so many kids she had always kept one handy. Patrick Radden Keefe uses the McConville case as a starting point for a society wracked by violent guerrilla war whose consequences have never been fully reckoned with.
