If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things de Jon McGregor

If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things: Waterstones Reading the 21st Century

Autor Jon McGregor
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 feb 2017

WINNER OF THE BETTY TRASK AWARD

WINNER OF THE SOMERSET MAUGHAM AWARD

LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE

On a street in a town in the North of England, ordinary people are going through the motions of their everyday existence - street cricket, barbecues, painting windows... A young man is in love with a neighbour who does not even know his name. An old couple make their way up to the nearby bus stop.

But then a terrible event shatters the quiet of the early summer evening. That this remarkable and horrific event is only poignant to those who saw it, not even meriting a mention on the local news, means that those who witness it will be altered for ever. Jon McGregor's first novel brilliantly evokes the histories and lives of the people in the street to build up an unforgettable human panorama.

Breathtakingly original, humane and moving, If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things is an astonishing debut.
