About
In the year 1905, the infamous occultist Aleister Crowley gets more than he bargained for when he travels north to meet his devoted Bradford disciples….
Whilst scattering the ashes of her late father at Bolling Hall, a woman is comforted by a mysterious – and unusually knowledgeable – stranger….
A Bradford-born businessman, who made his fortune in the south, returns to his native Yorkshire and is astonished by what he sees….
A city built on proud northern values, but one which also boasts one of the UK’s youngest and most diverse populations, Bradford is nothing if not a place of immense contrasts. Bringing together fiction from some of the city's most celebrated writers, The Book of Bradford reflects this intriguing juxtaposition, celebrating the city’s infinite potential while robustly challenging the sometimes unwelcome stereotypes. From the family affected by the Bradford City Stadium fire, to the Pakistan immigrant who forms a close bond with her next-door neighbour, these ten stories showcase the people and communities simply trying to make their voices heard within a city undergoing serious social and cultural change.
