Manchester Happened

Manchester Happened is a masterful collection of short stories by Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi, whose debut novel Kintu was published to great acclaim earlier this year. Set in Manchester and Kampala, the stories form a moving and powerful work about the experience of immigration and about how we treat each other as human beings, and makes an important contribution to one of the most pressing societal and political issues of the day.Following on from the huge success of Kintu, Manchester Happened – featuring the winner of the 2014 Commonwealth Short Story Prize, "Let's Tell This Story Properly" – is an essential collection from an extraordinarily talented writer.
