Be suspicious of writers...
(usually male) who demand 8 hours of unbroken quiet in order to create. They somehow make out that they are the ones sacrificing things. And actually, there's a whole lot of other people running around in the background sacrificing stuff to enable that to happen.

Jon McGregor is one of those authors that writes so beautifully and poetically that every book I sit down to read from him is a treat. Reservoir 13 is another example of literary fiction at its finest with sweeping, descriptive prose and a wonderfully weaved narrative told over thirteen years. As the novel opens, we are aware that a young girl has gone missing - Rebecca, Becky or Bex, however she was known. Search parties and the police swarm the area, posters are put up and the quiet country town is a hotbed of media interest. However, she is never recovered and although a group of teenagers may know more than they are letting on, life goes on. The novel then follows the community over the next thirteen years as life unfolds for the other inhabitants as normal. Babies are born, there are secrets and betrayals, relationships form and break up and each New Year, fireworks go off. Rebecca’s disappearance still continues to haunt the small town and those that live there with no real answers for her traumatised family over what happened to her. This is definitely a book that would benefit from a re-read. I loved the way in which the author introduced each year after the disappearance, demonstrating how life goes on, even after a tragedy although it’s clear that the reverberations of what happened linger on in the memories of the townspeople. As I mentioned before, it’s always a pleasure to read anything from McGregor and I highly recommend him for literary fiction lovers who enjoy powerful and mesmerising writing.

Frank Parker experienced the brief turmoil of being offended and grateful at the same time.
