AWCH Virtual Book Discussion: Say Nothing

 Thursday, Ja nuary 21st at 7 p.m.

 

This m onth we will be reading Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe.

“In December 1972, Jean McConville, a thirty-eight-year-old moth er of ten, was dragged from her Belfast home by masked intruders, her child ren clinging to her legs. They never saw her again. Her abduction was one o f the most notorious episodes of the vicious conflict known as The Troubles . Everyone in the neighborhood knew the I.R.A. was responsible. But in a cl imate of fear and paranoia, no one would speak of it. In 2003, five years a fter an accord brought an uneasy peace to Northern Ireland, a set of human bones was discovered on a beach. McConville's children knew it was their mo ther when they were told a blue safety pin was attached to the dress—with s o many kids, she had always kept it handy for diapers or ripped clothes.
Patrick Radden Keefe's mesmerizing book on the bitter conflict in Northern Ireland and its aftermath uses the McCo nville case as a starting point for the tale of a society wracked by a viol ent guerrilla war, a war whose consequences have never been reckoned with. The brutal violence seared not only people like the McConville children, bu t also I.R.A. members embittered by a peace that fell far short of the goal of a united Ireland, and left them wondering whether the killings they com mitted were not justified acts of war, but simple murders. From radical and impetuous I.R.A. terrorists such as Dolours Price, who, when she was barel y out of her teens, was already planting bombs in London and targeting info rmers for execution, to the ferocious I.R.A. mastermind known as The Dark, to the spy games and dirty schemes of the British Army, to Gerry Adams, who negotiated the peace but betrayed his hardcore comrades by denying his I.R .A. past—Say Nothing conjures a world of passion, betrayal, vengeance, and anguish.” (Penguin Random House)
