The IRA may have gone underground in the two decades since the Good Friday Agreement, but they never really went away, and lately bomb threats, security checkpoints, and helicopters floating ominously over the city have become features of everyday life. As the news reporter requests the public's help in locating those responsible for the robbery, security footage reveals Tessa's sister, Marian, pulling a black ski mask over her face. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe police believe Marian has joined the IRA, but Tessa is convinced she must have been abducted or coerced; the sisters have always opposed the violence enacted in the name of uniting Ireland. And besides, Marian is vacationing on the north coast. Tessa just spoke to her yesterday. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen the truth about Marian comes to light, Tessa is faced with impossible choices that will test the limits of her ideals, the bonds of her family, her notions of right and wrong, and her identity as a sister and a mother. Walking an increasingly perilous road, she wants nothing more than to protect the one person she loves more fiercely than her sister: her infant son, Finn. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRiveting, atmospheric, and exquisitely written, \u003ci\u003eNorthern Spy\u003c\/i\u003e is at once a heart-pounding story of the contemporary IRA and a moving portrait of sister- and motherhood, and of life in a deeply divided society.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51661177192738,"sku":"9780735225015","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/8637\/3154\/files\/imageloader_fde32c72-b2b5-442d-8220-407c36f1d3b7.jpg?v=1779451105","url":"https:\/\/godmothers.com\/products\/northern-spy-reeses-book-club","provider":"Godmothers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
