Description
Amazon.com Many a writer has attempted to parse the 400 years of colonial/sectarian violence
that preceded the Troubles in Northern Ireland. But Say Nothing shows young paramilitaries
compelled by more recent, deeply personal history: an aunt who lost her eyes and hands while
setting a bomb, peaceful marchers ambushed and stoned on a bridge. With no dog in the race, an
outsider such as Keefe can recount with stark, rousing clarity the story of an IRA gunman trying
not to scream as a doctor sews up his severed artery in the front room of a safe house while a
British armored tank rumbles outside. Or describe how Jean McConville, a widowed mother of ten,
came to be suspected of being an informer, a charge which led to her being taken from her home
by the IRA one night in 1972, her young ones clinging to her legs. Hastened to her grave by a
bullet to the back of her head, her bones lay buried on a remote beach for thirty years, years
during which her children were left to live and work alongside neighbors they suspected, yet dared
not accuse, of being responsible for her death. With the pacing of a thriller, and an intricate, yet
compulsively readable storytelling structure, Keefeâ€s exhaustive reportage brings home the
terror, the waste, and the heartbreaking futility of a guerrilla war fought in peoples†homes as
well as in the streets. And he captures the devastation of veterans on both sides, uneasily enjoying
the peace that finally came while wondering if they had fought the good fight or been complicit in
murder all along. --Vannessa Cronin, Amazon Book Review NEW YORK TIMESÂ
BEST SELLERLONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARDÂ WINNER OF THE
ORWELL PRIZE 'Resolutely humane. . .Say Nothing [has an] exacting and terrifying lucidity. .
.meticulously reported. . .Keefe's narrative is an architectural feat, expertly constructed out of
complex and contentious material, arranged and balanced just so. . .an absorbing drama.' —
JENNIFER SZALAI, The New York Times'Say Nothing has lots of the qualities of good fiction.
. . Keefe is a terrific storyteller. . .He brings his characters to real life. The book is cleverly
structured. We follow people--victim, perpetrator, back to victim--leave them, forget about them,
rejoin them decades later. It can be read as a detective story. . .What Keefe captures best, though,
is the tragedy, the damage and waste, and the idea of moral injury. . .Say Nothing is an excellent
account of the Troubles. —RODDY DOYLE, The New York Times Book ReviewÂ
'An exceptional new book. . .explores this brittle landscape [of Northern Ireland] to devastating
effect. . .Fierce reporting. . . It is a dizzying panorama, yet Mr. Keefe presents it with clarity.'—
