This is James McBride (always fabulous) at his very best.

Hurricane Season is the second novel by Mexican author Fernanda Melchor and was her first to be published in English, in 2020, after it was translated by Sophie Hughes.

If you’re anything like us at Web-Translations, then you’re probably a little bit flummoxed to learn that today is the first day of summer. Yes, it seems like yesterday when we were welcoming in the new year and making resolutions that we were confident we would keep. The year has flown by and whilst we might not have kept all of our resolutions (after all, who actually does?) we certainly have been working hard and been busy developing lots of exciting new projects.
