Praise for Reservoir 13:



A wonderful book. Hes an extraordinary writer, unlike anyone else Paula Hawkins



Absolutely magnificent; one of the most beautiful, affecting novels I've read in years. The prose is alive and ringing. There is so much space and life in every sentence. I don't know how he's done it. It's beautiful Eimear McBride



This is a book quite unlike anything I have read before. There's a hypnotic pull to the narrative, which has an irresistibly cumulative effect: in time I felt intimately immersed in a community traumatised by tragedy. Moreover McGregor writes with rare grace and integrity, and with such exquisite care the reader would be hard-pressed to find an infelicitous syllable, still less a word or phrase. If people were not already aware that here is one of our most accomplished living writers, they certainly will be now Sarah Perry



McGregor writes with such grace and precision, with love even, about who and where we are, that he leaves behind all other writers of his generation Sarah Hall



'Reservoir 13 is quite extraordinary the way its structured, the way it rolls, the skill with which Jon McGregor lets the characters breathe and age Roddy Doyle



If you don't yet know you should read novels by Jon McGregor, then I can't help you' Evie Wyld



A work of intense, forensic noticing; an unobtrusively experimental, thickly atmospheric portrait of the life of a village which, for its mixture of truthfulness and potency, deserves to be set alongside works of such varied brilliance as Ronald Blythes Akenfield, Jim Craces Harvest and Dylan Thomass Under Milk Wood Sarah Crown, TLS
