Join us at Manchester Central Library for the launch of Okechukwu Nzelu’s new book HERE AGAIN NOW.
We’re delighted to be working with Manchester Central Library to host the launch of Okechukwu Nzelu’s latest book HERE AGAIN NOW – a heart-breaking and immensely uplifting novel about lovers, fathers and sons which shows the power of family – both the one into which we are born and those we choose for ourselves. Okechukwu will be in conversation with Andrew McMillan.
