Dirty Linen: The Troubles in My Home Place
The Linen Hall 17 Donegall Square North, BelfastJoin us for the launch of Dirty Linen, Martin Doyle’s latest book. Martin offers a personal, intimate history of the Troubles seen through the microcosm of a single rural parish, his own, part of both the Linen Triangle – heartland of the North’s defining industry – and the Murder Triangle – the Badlands devastated by paramilitary violence. He lifts the veil of silence drawn over the horrors of the past, recording in heartrending detail the terrible toll the conflict took – more than twenty violent deaths in a few square miles – and the long tail of trauma it has left behind.
