In a new book, The Sorrow And The Loss, the Belfast journalist turns his attention to the impact of the conflict on women on both sides of the Border
Martin Dillon, author of books on the Troubles including "The Shankill Butchers," has written "The Sorrow and the Loss," focusing on the experiences of women affected by the conflict. The book explores the grief, injuries, and involvement of women in the violence, highlighting the lack of answers and closure for families seeking the truth about their loved ones' deaths or disappearances. Dillon believes investigations are unlikely to provide comfort, as records have been destroyed and perpetrators remain silent. The book contains stories of women during the Troubles, including Mary Kane whose father was killed in the McGurk’s pub bombing.
