So Many Ways to Begin by Jon Mcgregor
Coventry Museum curator, David Carter - a man driven constantly to seek the thrill of old stories made new - cannot help but wish that his daughter's arrival will bring her parents closer together. This novel explores what happens when our lives fail to take the turns we expect, and the ways we learn to let go of the people we might have been.

McGregor's triumphant prose poem of ordinariness has a very contemporary kind of spirituality about it' Sunday Times on IF NOBODY SPEAKS OF REMARKABLE THINGS 'The work of a burning new talent ... These individual, unremarkable lives are netted up onto the page with an extraordinary clarity, compassion and immediacy' Daily Mail on IF NOBODY SPEAKS OF REMARKABLE THINGS
