Reviews

"If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things is a dream of a novel" - Erica Wagner, The Times "You won't read anything much more poignant than this" - William Leith, Daily Telegraph 'Even as it is shadowed by disaster, McGregor's careful prose is sharpened by anticipation and expectation. This is a novel of wonders' - Observer 'Overflows with prose as poetry... a beautiful novel ... unexpected, shocking, moving' - Big Issue
