Some new work out in this weekend’s Telegraph Magazine. Journalist Martin Fletcher and I recently visited Crossmaglen, a border town in Northern Ireland, where ordinary people are trying to move on from a violent past, 25 years after the Good Friday Agreement, and where the IRA still casts a shadow of fear. Many recounted to us that the current peace has come at the cost of justice for the victims of crimes committed on both sides, and that they still live with the painful knowledge of who in their communities is responsible.
