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.
