A beautifully told story abt a young Catholic man living with his father in a loyalist community at the height of the troubles. Haunted by his part in the killing of a local police man he tries to get out of more ira activity. When he meets the widow of the victim, a love affair seems inevitable but doomed. A brilliant book that I couldn't put down + was immersed in brilliant writing. I saw the film in the 80s so will be interested to watch again

Texreader Looks like a good book for #Ireland #foodandlit this month @Catsandbooks 9mo

keithmalek @Suet624 No, I haven't. But it's on my list. 2y

keithmalek @Suet624 This was decent, but not as good as other books about the Troubles. If you're really interested, get it from the library if you can, but I don't think it's worth purchasing. 2y

Suet624 Good to know. Thanks for the update. I‘m still blown away by the confessional info. 2y

Heiress, Rebel, Vigilante, Bomber: The Extraordinary Life and Times of Rose Dugdale | Sean O'Driscoll

Tempting review. Although I listened to a podcast series about the same bio, so maybe I've had enough?

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I read her Wikipedia page the other day (because I was ordering this book for work and was intrigued) 3y

charl08 @thegirlwiththelibrarybag the podcast was brilliant, the kind of NF that would be too unbelievable to be fiction. 3y

The Troubles: Ireland's Ordeal 1966�1995 and the Search for Peace | Tim Pat Coogan

Books and beers (reading selection brought to you by my new-found obsession with Derry Girls which has gotten me through the last few weeks of...well all this)

AlaMich My wife and I have been rewatching Derry Girls endlessly the last few weeks. Every time I see an episode I lament that there are so few in a season and that the latest season was delayed by COVID. It‘s wonderful! 5y

Alisnazzy @AlaMich I literally cannot stop watching it. I no longer need the closed captioning because I know the dialogue by heart at this point. Will continue to do this 😂 5y

AlaMich Ha! I did the captioning at first too!! 😂 5y
