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.
