Jon McGregor’s spellbinding debut novel details a remarkable and horrific event, poignant only to those who saw it - whose lives it changes forever.

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 makes their way up to the nearby bus stop. But then a terrible event shatters the quiet of the early summer evening, and those who witness it will be forever altered. 

"A dream of a novel ... It is not every novelist who has the gift, as Jon McGregor does, of reminding his readers of that heaven in a wild flower, that infinity in a grain of sand."   - The Times

"The halting conversations are overdone, and that street horror is problematic, but 26-year-old McGregor’s sharp eye and broad sympathies show a true novelistic sensibility and a sizable talent."  -  Kirkus Reviews

Jon McGregor, aged 26, became the Booker Prize’s youngest nominee when his first novel was longlisted. His second and fourth novels would also go on to be nominated. If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things is the story of a day in the life of an unremarkable British street - the setting which McGregor later explained was Bradford where he had studied and was inspired by events following the death of Princess Diana.
