Sinossi

Nobel laureate, party leader, peacemaker, first minister and statesman – David Trimble had many roles. But what is the real story behind the man who made headlines and changed lives?
In this definitive biography of Trimble's life and death, award-winning journalist Stephen Walker vividly details how a shy Belfast academic changed the political landscape of Northern Ireland.
Written with the cooperation of his widow, Lady Trimble, and their grown-up children, Peacemaker offers unparalleled insights into the life of the first person to be elected first minister of Northern Ireland and the most significant unionist leader since the creation of Northern Ireland in 1921. From the beginning of his political career in the dark days of the Troubles, to bringing unionism and nationalism together to end decades of division and violence and secure peace, Trimble's personal journey mirrors the story of Northern Ireland itself.
Drawing on over 100 fresh interviews, this is a colourful and personal account of the life of a key figure in Irish history and an essential companion to Stephen Walker's bestselling biography of John Hume.

    Because you the reader, traveling on this journey with this exploration of My perspective in its rawness. Prayerfully, you may gain perspective to the dual role and emotional reactions in in relationships participated in from honest eyes of self and make a positive change for your next situation. Generally, we tend to forget our roles, behaviors, and direct action exercised in relationships, only seeing the faults of others, and placing blame. I am here to tell you it takes at least two to tango. A pointed finger has three fingers flipped back toward the pointer. The older I get I have learned to give myself permission to look at my roles in relationship, and how I present in general. It was difficult. Who would ever want to see themselves as a fallen mess? I engaged in looking for love in all the wrong places and trusted in circumstances I should have not over my lifespan, and I am still a mess!

    WINNER OF THE NERO NON FICTION AWARD 2026 
    LONGLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE 2026 
    LONGLISTED FOR THE 2026 WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON FICTION 
    A spectacularly original memoir that’s at once an elegy for a beloved family member and a deeply moving meditation on what it means to be a mortal creature, from one of our greatest novelists. 
    Death of an Ordinary Man opens on a charming, merry seaside scene in late August. Perry, her husband, and her father-in-law David are at the Yarmouth carnival they’ve gone to every summer for decades. The day was fine, Perry tells us, and the shining tide was going out. The next time Sarah sees David three weeks later, watching him approach across the market, she knows instantly and with a certainty she’s never had before: David is dying. He’ll be dead in less than three months’ time from a rare and swiftly moving cancer. 
    What follows is Perry’s intimate account of sitting at David’s bedside across the final days of his life. She lays out in plain and scientific detail what the end of a human life looks like, and invites readers into the most mundane and extraordinary moments of a devastating stretch of days. Throughout, she interweaves her own experience with accounts of death throughout the ages, as well as the poetry and philosophy humans have created and turned to for comfort in the face of loss. Her trademark blend of the scientific and factual with the spiritual and artistic captures the fact that, ultimately, dying is the most human thing any of us will do. Perhaps most importantly, she tells us who David is and was—the way he drank his tea and the sections of the newspaper he always read first, the things that made him laugh and the people and animals that he loved. She mourns all that will be lost forever with his passing, even as she celebrates that he was here in the first place. 
    Written in Perry’s inimitable style and riveting from its opening pages, Death of an Ordinary Man is both abundantly human and marvelously transcendent, and reminds us again and again that there are no ordinary men.
