Almost certainly as the audiobook than I would have found the print version. ( ) Poor plot. A girl goes missing. And that’s that. Wonderful depiction of village life, but too many people to remember. But I seriously cannot understand why it received glowing reviews and a Costa award. Seemed a bit Emperors New Clothes. In one section I found 18 sentences running beginning with the word ‘she’, only for the 19th to be ‘he’. I also found two sentences that seemed to repeat itself. Mesmerizing. His writing is thoughtful and contained, the repetition creates a contemplative rhythm. There's a great subtlety in the exploration of small town community and trauma and change. As I sometimes do, unfairly perhaps because I don't know him at all, I thought to myself, Kiarostami would have liked this book. It's not for everyone, certainly not those who were lead to expect a mystery with a conclusion. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

In midwinter in an English village, a teenage girl has gone missing and everyone is called upon to join the search. The villagers fan out across the moors as the police set up roadblocks, and a crowd of news reporters descends on what is usually a place of peace. Meanwhile, there is work that must still be done: cows milked, fences repaired, stone cut, pints poured, beds made, sermons written, a pantomime rehearsed. As the seasons unfold and the search for the missing girl goes on, there are those who leave the village and those who are pulled back; those who come together and those who break apart. There are births and deaths, secrets kept and exposed, livelihoods made and lost, small kindnesses, and unanticipated betrayals. 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 tragedy refuse to subside.
