About the Book

In midwinter in an English village, a teenage girl has gone missing and everyone is called upon to join the search. The villagers fan out across the moors as the police set up roadblocks, and a crowd of news reporters descends on what is usually a place of peace. Meanwhile, there is work that must still be done: cows milked, fences repaired, stone cut, pints poured, beds made, sermons written, a pantomime rehearsed. As the seasons unfold and the search for the missing girl goes on, there are those who leave the village and those who are pulled back; those who come together and those who break apart. There are births and deaths, secrets kept and exposed, livelihoods made and lost, small kindnesses, and unanticipated betrayals. 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 tragedy refuse to subside.

Review :
"Reservoir 13 is deeply stirring and incredibly poetic. While the intricacies of relationships and the echo of sorrow over one family's loss ripples through years of ordinary days, the simple flow of daily life in a small town will resonate with everyone who has lived in or visited a rural area. This beautiful and melancholic book is perfect for anyone who wants to explore the deep connections of a small but tight-knit community." -- "American Booksellers Association" "[A] gesture toward the sweep of history, reminding us that the struggles that seem so momentous to one group of people will someday be forgotten." -- "New York Times" "[A] village that is still haunting me, and which, because of the rich detail of the prose, I feel I've lived in before, and for which, on closing the book, I found myself homesick." -- "George Saunders, Booker Prize-winning author" "A humane and tender masterpiece." -- "Irish Times (Dublin)" "A singular and haunting story." -- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)" "A work of intense, forensic noticing: an unobtrusively experimental, thickly atmospheric portrait of the life of a village." -- "Times Literary Supplement (London)" "An atmospheric, meticulously crafted novel, begins like a mystery then quickly morphs into something altogether different." -- "Kirkus Reviews (starred review)" "Bates narrates the story with precisely the English accent one would imagine in this seemingly quaint village. HIs calm, low-key delivery perfectly sets the mood for the story...Bates has narrated the story to mirror McGregor's vision." -- "Booklist (audio review)" "Brilliant...McGregor's novel's subtly devastating impact ultimately imparts wisdom about the tenuous and priceless gift of life." -- "Booklist (starred review)" "Excels at charting how, over the years, relationships fray, snap, or twine together...McGregor again highlights the remarkable in the everyday." -- "Sunday Times (London)" "Haunting and heartbreaking...His best yet." -- "Guardian (London)" "Jon McGregor has revolutionized that most hallowed of mystery plots: the one where some foul deed takes place in a tranquil English village that, by the close of the case, doesn't feel so tranquil anymore." -- " Washington Post" "Matt Bates...[is] an excellent choice of narrator for an audiobook that explores the minutiae of how people return to daily life after a tragedy has struck...Listeners will hear a tightly controlled, low-voiced portrayal of inexplicable loss. Fans of literary fiction delivered in the style of radio theater will enjoy the experience." -- "AudioFile" "McGregor's writing is extraordinary, and...[a] treatise on timelessness and human nature...Highly recommended." -- "Library Journal (starred review)" "Novels aspire to be social documents, group portraits, measurers of time, renovators of the ordinary, but few come close to achieving those ambitions. This entrancing book does." -- "New Yorker" "One I wish I'd written myself...Its structure, pace, detail, tone, humanity--it's a quiet masterpiece." -- "Roddy Doyle, New York Times bestselling author"
