The dazzling novel from critically-acclaimed David Mitchell.
Shortlisted for the 2006 Costa Novel Award
Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2006
January, 1982. Thirteen-year-old Jason Taylor - covert stammerer and reluctant poet - anticipates a stultifying year in his backwater English village. But he hasn't reckoned with bullies, simmering family discord, the Falklands War, a threatened gypsy invasion and those mysterious entities known as girls. Charting thirteen months in the black hole between childhood and adolescence, this is a captivating novel, wry, painful and vibrant with the stuff of life.

Review:
Black Swan Green's 'I love 1982' nostalgia is a glassy, pitch-perfect, mock-innocent surface through which something rotten might appear. (Ali Smith Sunday Telegraph)
David Mitchell is dizzyingly, dazzlingly good . . . Black Swan Green is just gorgeous. (Eithne Farry Daily Mail )
It is the best kind of contemporary fiction. ( TLS )
Hugely touching and enjoyable. (Rachel Cooke, Summer Reads Observer)
A delight to read from beginning to end. ( Sunday Express )
Luminously beautiful. ( The Times )
