WINNER OF THE 2017 COSTA NOVEL AWARD A GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR AN FT BOOK OF THE YEAR A TLS BOOK OF THE YEAR A TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR From the award-winning author of If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things. Reservoir 13 tells the story of many lives haunted by one family's loss. Midwinter in the early years of this century. A teenage girl on holiday has gone missing in the hills at the heart of England. The villagers are called up to join the search, fanning out across the moors as the police set up roadblocks and a crowd of news reporters descends on their usually quiet home. Meanwhile, there is work that must still be done: cows milked, fences repaired, stone cut, pints poured, beds made, sermons written, a pantomime rehearsed. The search for the missing girl goes on, but so does everyday life. As it must. 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 stranger?s tragedy refuse to subside.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Returning us to the extraordinary territory of Jon McGregor's Man Booker Prize long-listed novel Reservoir 13, The Reservoir Tapes take us deep into the heart of an English village that is trying to come to terms with what has happened on its watch.A teenage girl has gone missing. The whole community has been called upon to join the search. And now an interviewer arrives, intent on capturing the community's unstable stories about life in the weeks and months before Becky Shaw vanished. Each villager has a memory to share or a secret to conceal, a connection to Becky that they are trying to make or break. A young wife pushes against the boundaries of her marriage, and another seeks a means of surviving within hers. A group of teenagers dare one another to jump into a flooded quarry, the one weak swimmer still awaiting his turn. A laborer lies trapped under rocks and dry limestone dust as his fellow workers attempt a risky rescue. And meanwhile a fractured portrait of Becky emerges at the edges of our vision-a girl swimming, climbing, and smearing dirt onto a scared boy's face, images to be cherished and challenged as the search for her goes on.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This book describes one woman's journey to and through Madagascar-a journey that took eleven long years, and still remained incomplete. But this is not the journey of a tourist, or of an academic explorer, or even of a curious missionary. This is the journey of Patricia McGregor, a simple, humble American woman whose worldview emerges out of her relationship with God, and her plain life as a wife and mother. As she struggles to find meaning in the simple experiences of life, her journey to Madagascar and her eleven-year stay and service there becomes a deep odyssey into her own restless soul, until she comes to the astonishing discovery that for a Christian the ultimate rest is found in ultimate restlessness Patricia McGregor, affectionately known as Patsy, has given a very revealing and instructive writing in this book. Unreservedly she pours out the hardships and personal struggles she had to endure while coping with the culture shock and lack of convenience. I understand better now the psychological and material sufferings missionaries must face, and this may explain why at times our requests for expatriate co-workers remain unanswered. I thank Patsy for what she and her family have done for my church in Madagascar and also for this book, which is very easy and exciting to read. His Grace the Most Revd. Remi J. Rabenirina Archbishop of the Province of the Indian Ocean, and Bishop of Antananarivo, Madagascar Courageous, humble, and faithful; funny and poignant; honest and somehow necessary-Patsy McGregor's vivid account of her missionary family immersed in Madagascar's Anglican Church proves a point.McGregor's patchwork of reflections, letters, and stories builds a powerful theme. The Revd. Jane Butterfield Mission Personnel Director, Episcopal Church of the USA Patsy writes with a disarming honesty of her eventful decade in the difficult but fascinating world of Madagascar. Despite the discouraging beginnings and the endless trials and tribulations, she has emerged from this long journey with a stronger, deeper faith, leaving behind a legacy of love and compassion towards the Malagasy people. P.J. Smith, CBE British Ambassador to Madagascar (1993 - 1996).…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In this Booker Prize-nominated "dream of a novel," ordinary middle-class lives converge and collide one summer day in England (The Times). In delicate, intricately observed close-up, this novel makes us privy to the private lives of residents of a quiet street over the course of a single day. If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things explores the hopes, fears, and unspoken despairs of a diverse community: a single father with painfully scarred hands; a group of young club-goers just home from an all-night rave, sweetly high and mulling over vague dreams; and the nervous young man at number 18 who collects weird urban junk and is haunted by the specter of unrequited love. What eventually unites them is an utterly surprising and terrible twist of fate that shatters their everyday, ordinary tranquility, and all that they take for granted. A prose poem of a novel with a mystery at its center that "recalls To The Lighthouse or Mrs. Dalloway" (The Times), If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things was the recipient of the Somerset Maugham Award and the Betty Trask Award, and was named one of the best books of the year by the Los Angeles Times. It is, in the words of Ali Smith, "a tremendous read." "A wonderful evocation of the beauty and horror of the literally everyday." -- Booklist, starred review "Absolutely resplendent . . . does for urban England what John Cheever did for Westchester County." -- Bookpage.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. It started as a daydream. Poring over a map of the world at home one quiet Saturday afternoon, Ewan McGregor -- acclaimed actor and self-confessed bike nut -- noticed that it was possible to ride all the way round the world, with just one short hop across the Bering Strait from Russia to Alaska. It was a revelation he couldn't get out of his head. So he picked up the phone and called his fellow actor-slash-biker friend Charley Boorman and told him it was time to hit the road. Long Way Round Beginning in London, Ewan and Charley chased their shadows through Europe, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Russia; across the Pacific to Alaska; then down through Canada all the way to New York. Long Way Round is the result of their four-month, 20,000-mile joyride. Featuring original diary entries, travel maps, mileage charts, and dozens of photographs, this is a freewheeling, fully charged, and uproariously entertaining book about two world-famous individuals who chose the road not taken.and made the journey worthwhile.…
