As broadcast on BBC radio 4: the fifteen 'prequel' stories to the
Costa Award-WinningReservoir 13. 'He leaves behind all other
writers of his generation' Sarah Hall 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. But the aftershocks of Becky Shaw's disappearance have
origins long before then, and those in the village have losses, and
secrets, and stories of their own... A woman remembers a son's
inexperience - and a father's rage; a young wife pushes against the
boundaries of her marriage, whilst an older one finds ways to
ensure the survival of hers. A hunt for a birthday present takes an
alarming turn, and a teenage game grows serious. Fresh hurts open
old wounds, salvation comes from unexpected quarters and chance
encounters release long-buried memories. First broadcast as a
series of specially commissioned stories on BBC Radio 4, The
Reservoir Tapes returns to the territory of the Booker-longlisted
Reservoir 13, revealing the web of connections that bind us, and
the many layers on which we all build our truths.
