If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things: 21 Great Bloomsbury Reads for the 21st Century (21st Birthday Celebratory Edn)

by JonMcGregor (Author)

Synopsis

On a street in a town in the North of England, perfectly ordinary people are doing normal things - children play cricket, windows are painted, a couple argues, students pack up their belongings, and nameless people pass each other, interweaving yet never connecting. But a terrible event shatters the quiet of the summer evening and no one who witnesses it will ever be the same again.
