If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things
McGregor Jon 422 ₪Introducing the Collins Modern Classics, a series featuring some of the most significant books of recent times, books that shed light on the human experience — classics which will endure for generations to come.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.
