Say Nothing
Review ★★★★☆
Wow, what an impactful book. It delves into the historical events of Northern Ireland during the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, a time when the IRA fought to expel British government forces. The narrative focuses on key figures like Gerry Adams, leader of the IRA faction; Dolours and Marian Price, sisters imprisoned for planting car bombs in London; and Jean McConville, a mother of 10 who was abducted and killed.
The author spent years meticulously researching, analyzing tapes, conducting interviews, and uncovering confessions from the Boston Project to piece together a gripping and detailed account of this turbulent period in Irish history.
Admittedly, this book took me some time to finish. I would read parts, set it aside, pick it up again, and repeat the cycle. At one point, I left it unfinished at 75% on my Kindle. But then, Hulu released a show based on the book, and my curiosity about the ending led me to watch the series. The unexpected conclusion motivated me to finally complete the book. Both the book and the show are exceptionally well done—highly recommended!
