Say Nothing - Patrick Radden Keefe

The subtitle of this nonfiction book is "A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland" and it's a good primer on "the Troubles" for those of us who heard about them in the news but had no real firsthand knowledge of them. It begins with the story of a disappearance, and then places that disappearance in the larger context of the motivations one both sides of the long-standing conflict in Northern Ireland. Gripping and sad, this book was a good read for a gloomy spring.

Side note: I am going to use this book for the "Black" category of the Color-Coded Reading Challenge
