Reseña del libro "Murder Memoir Murder (en Inglés)"
"The result is a breathtakingly brutal piece of crime writing that is relentless in its pursuit of the truth" Declan Burke in the Irish Times "Among many other things, Murder Memoir Murder is a brilliant evocation of Ireland's border culture, its contentions and unwritten protocols" Garrett Carr, author of The Rule of the Land "Hugely evocative, deeply felt and beautifully written, Murder Memoir Murder is a brave, brutal exploration of our shared past, his family's own personal history and the act of storytelling itself." Brian McGilloway Murder Memoir Murder is both a memoir and a crime fiction story involving a hunt for a missing IRA informer, set in the landscape of a rural parish in South Tyrone. It is also a meditation on truth and storytelling. The novel investigates two true unsolved murders in County Tyrone - one that took place in 1922 during the Irish Civil War, the other in 1982 at the height of the Northern Ireland Troubles - and the web of connections hidden in a tightly-knit community. At the heart of this true story with fictionalised elements is a searing and honest portrait of home and how the author's family organised itself after the Troubles. Anthony J.
