Say Nothing

by Patrick Radden Keefe · 2019

★★★★★ 5/5 · ALLO'S PICK
The story of the Troubles in Northern Ireland told through the disappearance of Jean McConville and the lives of those who killed her. A meditation on political violence and what happens to those who survive it.
Allo's take
Keefe is writing about how violence becomes ordinary — and what it leaves behind in the people who committed it. The chapters following the Price sisters in old age are the book's heart.
