Book 76 If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things by Jon McGregor.

8/10. Beautiful poetically-written story based around the doings of ordinary people in an unnamed city somewhere in England. Everything is revealed in it's own time and at such a slow pace that the feeling is one of impending menace, but we never lose sight of the humanity of the characters. We know something horrible is going to happen but you don't find out what til the last few pages. An absorbing read and another book with a cracking opening.
