It took me a while to get into this, but I felt justly rewarded for sticking with it. It minutely examines an afternoon on a particular street in England and the movements and actions of the residents of the houses and flats in a small stretch. From the outset it's obvious that something shattering has happened, but you don't know what until the end. In the meantime, finding out the residents' stories is very involving.
