Publisher's Summary

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 nonfiction; they are all powerful, fascinating and moving and aim to celebrate regional diversity and explore the meaning of home.

In this audiobook 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-short-listed Pau, Kerry Young, and a tale of young love across the ages in 'Milton Keynes' by Carolyn Sanderson.

Stop with the Ja-fake-an accents!

I couldn't finish....the narrator is excellent at British accents but is woefully lacking with the Jamaican. She even mispronounced 'plantain'!
Hire Jamaican narrators for Jamaican stories!
