WINNER OF THE 2017 COSTA NOVEL AWARD A GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR AN
FT BOOK OF THE YEAR A TLS BOOK OF THE YEAR A TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE
YEAR From the award-winning author of If Nobody Speaks of
Remarkable Things. Reservoir 13 tells the story of many lives
haunted by one family's loss. Midwinter in the early years of this
century. A teenage girl on holiday has gone missing in the hills at
the heart of England. The villagers are called up to join the
search, fanning out across the moors as the police set up
roadblocks and a crowd of news reporters descends on their usually
quiet home. Meanwhile, there is work that must still be done: cows
milked, fences repaired, stone cut, pints poured, beds made,
sermons written, a pantomime rehearsed. The search for the missing
girl goes on, but so does everyday life. As it must. An
extraordinary novel of cumulative power and grace, Reservoir 13
explores the rhythms of the natural world and the repeated human
gift for violence, unfolding over thirteen years as the aftershocks
of a stranger's tragedy refuse to subside. WINNER OF THE 2017 COSTA
NOVEL AWARD LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE SHORTLISTED FOR THE
GOLDSMITHS PRIZE 'A rare and dazzling feat of art' George Saunders,
author of Lincoln in the Bardo 'McGregor writes with such grace and
precision, with love even, about who and where we are, that he
leaves behind all other writers of his generation' Sarah Hall,
author of The Wolf Border 'Reservoir 13 is quite extraordinary -
the way it's structured, the way it rolls, the skill with which Jon
McGregor lets the characters breathe and age' Roddy Doyle, author
of Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha
