From a Clear Blue Sky: Surviving the Mountbatten Bomb

This was much better than expected. I also really liked the fact it was narrated by the author (audio version). It started a little slowly but once Tim started to describe the bombing and it's aftermath, it was incredibly moving. He went on to talk about the issues he faced having lost his brother. In the final section he returns to Ireland to meet those who helped his family and also to learn more about the trial of those accused. I knew very little about the troubles in Ireland and this book gives enough historical context for you to understand the times, without it being a history lesson. It's a very personal and moving story of a boy's loss and coming to terms with tragedy.

"This book has surprised me as it is really engaging and the audio version is read by the author which adds something to the experience. The final section follows Tim returning to Ireland to thank those who helped him as a boy, to confront his memories and to find out about the trial of those accused."
