Women in Translation Month

There is so much to celebrate when it comes to fantastic translated writing from women. Nested throughout the shop, there are loads of brilliant titles to help us take off our anglospheric glasses and see the rest of the world.

Why not check out ‘Out of Earth’ by Sheyla Smanioto, a haunting novel set in a small Brazilian town, exploring the intertwined lives of women across generations as they confront violence, poverty, and the lingering effects of the past. Or perhaps ‘Marble’ by Amalie Smith, a brilliant Danish novel exploring art, memory, and the passage of time; weaving together the story of an artist visiting ancient marble quarries in Greece with reflections on the materiality of marble and its role in preserving history, creating a meditation on how art endures and transforms through time.

All titles available in shop now. A book is dead and inert until you pick it up and read.
