SUMMARY:Dinner with Jon McGregor at The Hot House
DESCRIPTION:When: \nMonday\, October 23\, 2017 \n6.00 pm \nWhere: \nThe Hot House Restaurant & Bar \n35 Church Street \n\nPlease join Ben McNally and Harper Collins to celebrate the publication of Jon McGregor’s latest novel\, Reservoir 13.  \nTickets are $110.00\, for dinner and a copy of the book. We have moved our dinners to a new location\, so there are some changes. This event is in the library so seating is limited. Your ticket price at The Hot House includes a three-course dinner\, unlimited non-alcoholic drinks\, and all applicable taxes and service charge. There will be a cash bar. \nTickets must be purchased in advance. Call us (416.361.0032) to reserve your place. \n\n \nMidwinter in the early years of this century. A teenage girl on holiday has gone missing in the hills at the heart of England. The villagers are called up to join the search\, fanning out across the moors as the police set up roadblocks and a crowd of news reporters descends on their usually quiet home. \nMeanwhile\, there is work that must still be done: cows milked\, fences repaired\, stone cut\, pints poured\, beds made\, sermons written\, a pantomime rehearsed. \nThe search for the missing girl goes on\, but so does everyday life. As it must. \nAs the seasons unfold there are those who leave the village and those who are pulled back; those who come together or break apart. There are births and deaths; secrets kept and exposed; livelihoods made and lost; small kindnesses and unanticipated betrayals. \nBats hang in the eaves of the church and herons stand sentry in the river; fieldfares flock in the hawthorn trees and badgers and foxes prowl deep in the woods – mating and fighting\, hunting and dying. \nAn 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 stranger’s tragedy refuse to subside. \n\n \nJon McGregor is the author of four novels and a story collection. He is the winner of the IMPAC Dublin Literature Prize\, Betty Trask Prize\, and Somerset Maugham Award\, and has twice been longlisted for the Man Booker Prize. He is Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Nottingham\, where he edits The Letters Page\, a literary journal in letters. He was born in Bermuda in 1976\, grew up in Norfolk\, and now lives in Nottingham. \n000000
