Clearly, Patrick Radden Keefe has done a tremendous job here, but this was a hard, hard read. I'm definitely done with nonfiction for a good long while now. Part of the fault is on me, because I thought the book would be more about the McConvilles and less about Dolours Price, but I was wrong about that. No fault of Keefe's, of course--just a dearth of information about the mother, especially, it seems.
Well-written, well-researched, and well done considering how unsatisfying the situation currently is, and how precarious its future.
