...we passed a colourful mural that depicted the dead and disappeared....

¿Me olvidaste? asked José Carrasco, of MIR. Have you forgotten me?

¿Donde están? asked Ricardo Salinas, of the Socialist Party, who disappeared near San Antonio. Where are they?

Unexpected link to recent fiction reading (On the Calculation of Volume also feels like a rerun, sadly absent Bill Murray)
"Day one felt like Groundhog Day, the film in which a news reporter awakes each morning to a repeat of what has come before. From the outset, however, it was clear that these seven judges would take a different approach..."

(Not) a little light reading.

I‘ve had this book on my wishlist for a while. “Killing Thatcher” is a very exciting, but still impeccable researched political thriller about the very long plot of killing Prime Minister Thatcher, by the IRA. I highly recommend it if you‘ve ever been to Ireland and/or are interested in Irish history.

LiteraryHoarderPenny For some reason the name is changed to There Will Be Fire for the North American version! Took me on a little journey to find it - found it - marked it to read! 😊 7mo
thewallflower0707 @LiteraryHoarderPenny did they think it was too inflammatory or that Americans might not buy it because Thatcher is less well-known over there? 😅 7mo
LiteraryHoarderPenny @thewallflower0707 probably the title! 🤪 7mo

This #nonfiction read was totally engrossing. A.though I knew how historically this would shake out the author still managed with his writing to keep me glued to the pages. You get both sides of the story and I appreciate that. Highly recommend.
