Say Nothing

Patrick Radden Keefe

A mother of ten taken from her Belfast flat in 1972, and the decades of silence that followed.

Patrick Radden Keefe begins with the 1972 abduction of Jean McConville, a widowed mother of ten taken from her Belfast flat, and uses it to open the whole architecture of the Troubles. It is reported history that reads like crime writing, and it is scrupulous about the silence that held for decades.

My Monthly Read for June is Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe. Say Nothing is a masterclass in the art of the ‘non-fiction novel’. It has all the elements of great fiction – mesmerising characters, intrigue and plot twists.
