We are celebrating International Mother Tongue Day by shining a light on some of our favourite translated fiction, to remind you of the wide range of cultures and heritages we get to experience not only in our wonderful city of Manchester, but in the wider world of fiction!

If you'd like to know more about what activities you can get involved in around the city to immerse yourself in some of the 200 languages spoken in Greater Manchester, check out the City of Literature event page in our bio!

Principal Bookseller Leah wants you all to pick up Shon Faye's paperback release, 'Love in Exile' this February!
'This book examines love as a capitalist commodity, designed to cure every ailment and solve every woe. Much like bell hooks, Faye considers love to be a verb, a choice, and maybe something many have been forced to experience in exile.'
