Hometown Tales: Midlands: Celebrating Regional Voices

Original tales by remarkable writers

Hometown Tales is a series of books pairing exciting new voices with some of the most talented and important writers at work today. Some of the tales are fiction and some are narrative non-fiction - they are all powerful, fascinating and moving, and aim to celebrate regional diversity and explore the meaning of home.

In these pages on the Midlands, you'll find two unique tales: a richly-imagined story about a young girl adopted by a couple living in the village of Fleckney by author of the Costa-shortlisted Pau, Kerry Young, and a tale of young love across the ages in Milton Keynes by Carolyn Sanderson.
