Lean Fall Stand (Hardback)

'Lean Fall Stand is a beautiful piece of work and should win a roomful of prizes. Jon McGregor writes plainly and exactly, like a poet, and the precision of his writing makes every heartbeat register. The quality of his attention is a flicker of light around the fragile human condition, and it leaves the reader moved and subtly changed, as if she had become part of the story.' - Hilary Mantel

Maggie O'Farrell, author of Hamnet

'Jon McGregor has crafted a unique narrative, encompassing frozen wastes & altered interior landscapes. The most gripping piece of writing I've read in a long time: Sit. Read. Applaud.' - Jarvis Cocker

'Exceptional. ... So moving, and the use of language is remarkable. I absolutely loved it.' - David Nicholls, author of Sweet Sorrow

'A genuinely fascinating book and a troubling, riveting reading experience. A bold and masterful investigation into the weather system of the human mind.' -  Max Porter, author of The Death of Francis Bacon

'Utterly original. Jaw-dropping. The sort of book you'll think about for ages.' -  Paula Hawkins, author of A Slow Fire Burning

'A genuine masterpiece: poised, multilayered and full of the most astonishingly beautiful prose.' - Alex Preston, The Observer

'Maintains a compelling tension throughout, even as the elements generating that tension change from physical peril to hospitalisation to the thousand micro-dramas of recovery. An unforgettable book.' - Chris Powers, author of A Lonely Man
