SUMMARY:An Evening with Sarah Butler
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate #LibrariesWeek with Manchester Libraries and acclaimed author Sarah Butler. \nSarah is a writer and literature activist who lives in Manchester. She has three novels published by Picador in the UK: Ten Things I’ve Learnt About Love\, Before The Fire and Jack and Bet which was published in early 2020. \nIn 2007\, Sarah established the literature consultancy UrbanWords\, through which she explores the relationship between writing and place through prose\, poetry and participatory projects. \nSarah joined Manchester Metropolitan University as Lecturer in Creative Writing in June 2018. \nSaran will be in conversation and reading from her latest novel\, followed by a Q&A and the opportunity for audience questions. \nJack and Bet \nJack is a man of few words\, married to a woman of many. He and Bet have been together for seventy years — almost a lifetime — and happily so\, for the most part. \nAll Jack and Bet want is to enjoy the time they have left together\, in the flat they have tried to make their home. Their son Tommy has other ideas: he wants them to live somewhere with round-the-clock care\, hot meals\, activities. Bet thinks they can manage just fine. \nWhen they strike up an unlikely friendship with Marinela\, a young Romanian woman\, Bet thinks she has found the perfect solution — one that could change Marinela’s life as well as theirs. But this means revisiting an old love affair\, and confronting a long-buried secret she has kept hidden from everyone\, even Jack\, for many years. \nTender\, moving\, and beautifully told\, Jack and Bet is an unforgettable novel about love and loss\, the joys and regrets of a long marriage\, and the struggle to find a place to call home. \nThe event will take place via Live Webinar. We’ll send all the details on how you can join the event in the confirmation email.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Lesley Pearse
DESCRIPTION:Manchester Libraries\, Libraries Connected and Penguin Books invite you to join us for a special Friday evening with the hugely popular author Lesley Pearse. \nLesley Pearse was told as a child that she had too much imagination for her own good. When she grew up she worked her way through a number of jobs\, including nanny\, bunny girl\, dressmaker and full-time mother\, before\, at the age of forty-nine\, settling upon a career that would allow her gifts to blossom: she became a published writer.

The closest she’s come is selling advertising in the local paper. \nUntil the fateful day she stumbles on a truly shocking scoop. \nRound the corner from her home\, she discovers the body of a murder victim\, dumped among the rubbish. When the police and reporters descend\, Amelia is horrified at the assumptions made and lies soon to be spread about this poor young woman. \nDetermined to protect the victim from these smears and help her grieving family\, she convinces her paper’s editor to allow her to take up her pen and tell the true story. \nBut when another body is found and the police investigation stalls\, Amelia – uncovering new witnesses and suspects in her search for clues – discovers that she may be the only one with any chance of learning the truth and stopping more killings. \nIf only she can work out who the liar is . . . \nPraise for Lesley Pearse \n‘Storytelling at its very best’ Daily Mail  \n‘Evocative\, compelling\, told from the heart’ Sunday Express \n‘Glorious\, heartwarming’ Woman & Home \n‘Intriguing\, heart-tugging\, beautifully written’ Closer

Often described at the Magna Carta for disabled people\, this was the first disability rights legislation anywhere in the world and laid the foundations for the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and the Equality Act 2010. \nAlf Morris was born and bred in Manchester and served as an MP for Wythenshawe. Throughout his lifetime\, he campaigned tirelessly for the rights of disabled people. \nDigiFest brings together disabled and non-disabled people\, from organisations and as individuals\, who have worked collaboratively to put together DigiFest 2020\, with lots of additional content coming from a public call out. \nBroadcasting live from Manchester’s Central Library\, DigiFest will be hosted by multi-award winning artist and activist Jackie Hagan and leading the celebrations will be Lord Alf Morris’ family. \nJackie says\, “I’m delighted to be hosting this event – to celebrate a local working class man like Alf Morris who worked so hard to give disabled people the legal recognition we need. \n“We’ve got a fantastic array of talent on board and an exciting way of getting round lock-down that I think will mean more disabled and non-disabled people can attend.  People can come to hear so many brilliant disabled artists\, a fitting tribute to Alf Morris and his work.” \nManchester Histories DigiFest 2020 is a collaborative programme between The University of Manchester\, the family of the late Lord Morris of Manchester\, Manchester Metropolitan University\, University of Manchester’s Students’ Union\, the TUC (Manchester)\, Manchester City Council and the Greater Manchester Coalition of Disabled People.
