Interesting concept: Girl goes on hunger strike in Ireland to support the peace processes and her unsuspecting mother and father-like figure physically travel to save her while also traveling back in time in their minds to understand how this happened. My problem with the book was the narrator: an offscreen voice which pulled me out of the story and distracted me.
