On the August bank holiday weekend in 1979, 14-year-old Timothy Knatchbull went out on a boat trip off the shore of Mullaghmore in County Sligo, Irel&. It was a trip that would cost four lives
- & change his own for ever. The IRA bomb that exploded in their boat killed Knatchbull's grandfather Lord Mountbatten, his grandmother Lady Brabourne, his twin brother Nicholas, & local teenager Paul Maxwell. In telling this story for the first time, Knatchbull is not only revisiting the terrible events he & his family lived through, but also writing an intensely personal account of human triumph over tragedy. For thirty years, Knatchbull has lived with the echoes of that day: the death of the twin from whom he had been inseparable; the loss of his adored grandparents, whose funerals along with his twin's he & his parents were too injured to attend; the recovery from physical wounds; & the emotional legacy that proved harder to endure. In From A Clear Blue Sky Timothy Knatchbull delves into his past, present & future, & reveals a story of courage & fortitude as he, his family, & their English & Irish friends dealt with the shocking assassinations & their aftermath. Taking place in Ireland at the height of the Troubles, it gives a compelling insight into that period of Irish history. But more importantly it brings home that although tragedy can strike at any moment, the human spirit is able to recover & evolve over time. This book about truth & reconciliation, unflinching in its detail, asks searching questions about why human beings inflict misery on others, & holds lessons about how we can learn to forgive, to heal & to move on. It will resonate with readers the world over.
