SUMMARY:Migration Stories North West Exhibition & Preview
DESCRIPTION:A history of migration in and out of North West England told through 100 stories from Roman times to the present day. \nExplore the region’s long history of migration and ways in which it has shaped and continues to shape our social landscape. Browse the stories of individual women\, men and children arriving in and leaving the North West from and to other parts of the British Isles and other parts of the world. Find out how their journeys were driven by conflict\, colonialism and trade\, as well as in search of work\, educational opportunities or a better life. \nThis ‘pop-up’ exhibition includes an interactive screen through which to browse the stories\, and is touring across the North West of England. At this showing in Manchester Central Library there will also be a display by pupils and staff from The Derby High School in Bury about the stories which they researched and produced for the Greater Manchester section of the project. \nThe Migration Stories Exhibition’s showing in Manchester is presented by Crossing Footprints in partnership with Manchester Histories.

SUMMARY:Paula Hawkins
DESCRIPTION:‘Reminiscent of du Maurier and extremely hard to put down. The Blue Hour is destined to be a big hit.’ Mick Herron \nWhen a bone at the centre of a famous sculpture is identified as human\, the life the recently deceased artist Vanessa Chapman led with her companion Grace on the remote tidal island of Eris comes under scrutiny. What happened to Vanessa’s husband who vanished without trace twenty years ago? Paula Hawkins’ thrilling new novel The Blue Hour asks questions about the ways in which female artists and their work are framed in a world dominated by male critics and dealers. \nPaula Hawkins is the international bestselling author of three novels\, Into the Water\, A Slow Fire Burning and The Girl on the Train. The latter has sold more than 23 million copies worldwide\, broke the UK record for weeks at number one in the bestseller list and was turned into a hit film starring Emily Blunt. Presented by Manchester Literature Festival and supported by Library Live. \nImage credit: Phoebe Grigor \nTickets: ‘Book Now’ below\, phone 0161 876 2015 or visit the MLF website
