Women in Translation Month

August marks Women in Translation Month. A good excuse to put on hold – indefinitely perhaps –  those books that you just can’t get into. Or to finally get around to reading  the books by women in translation that have been sat in your reading pile. If you are stuck and looking for inspiration, we have gathered our favourites below!

Translated fiction is a careful and collaborative art which respects the value of language and authorship. Its very conception is a shared effort and therefore it is no surprise that each novel opens up space for shared understandings, shared visions, and shared futures. We would love to hear your thoughts and what you have been reading this month!
