If ever there was a time to immerse yourself in a different world, a commute on a dark grey winter’s morning is it. 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.There are births and deaths; secrets kept and exposed; livelihoods made and lost; small kindnesses and unanticipated betrayals. Turning within a natural almanac, the lives of its characters ebb and flow as the years pass, as they encounter tragedy, conflict, the best and worst aspects of each other. Whilst the Peak District doesn’t have rocky terrain like the Lake District or Snowdonia National Park there are still challenging sections on the walks. It might be a short route but don’t underestimate how tough it is, especially the hike up to Winnats Pass (and back down).

I began Lean Fall Stand hoping I’d experience again the inventiveness and lyricism I’d enjoyed in Jon McGregor’s previous novel Reservoir 13.As participants are urged to choose smiley or unhappy emojis to describe their week, and dancers arrive to encourage expression through movement, the whole narrative feels poised between scepticism, impatience and admiration. As well as editing the Letters Page, McGregor is teaching creative writing, something he initially resisted. You may also opt to downgrade to Standard Digital, a robust journalistic offering that fulfils many user’s needs. Robert’s talk of “radio discipline” and “correct operating procedure” meets Luke’s chilled “thanks for sharing”. Every word she’s telling is clearly the truth: “On the face of it in public you would think he was such a lovely man, wouldn’t you?
