3.5

Going into this my knowledge of the troubles was limited to Derry Girls and that small plot point in Criminal Minds, so to start I was a little confused (and I’m still not 100% confident) but overall was explained in an interesting and clear way. 

The audiobook gets a bonus 0.5 star (not included) because it is narrated by an Irish man and every time he said “poor” it added a week to my life.

“Must it be the case that how one perceives a tragedy will forever depend on where one sits?” A gripping historical narrative that wrestles with huge questions like this. I had to step away many times because the tragedy of these stories was so overwhelming.
