In Mother Tongue, Hilda Hoy explores the manifold capacities of language: to shape one’s sense of self, to bring together, to hold apart.
Raised in Taiwan by her Taiwanese mother and Canadian father, bilingual from the beginning, Hoy explores her experience of growing up with otherness, and traces how English became her dominant tongue. After many years living in Canada and Europe, her Chinese-speaking self packed into a box and sealed shut, the repercussions of her loss of Mandarin are thrown into sharp focus when her mother is diagnosed with dementia, and begins losing the ability to speak.
A tender exploration of grief and reconnection, of belonging and self, Mother Tongue is the story of a journey to locate one’s voice between hybrid places.

Wind&Bones is an independent publisher. We also run projects exploring writing, storytelling and philosophy for social change. We are based between Scotland and Taiwan. Directed by Dr Hannah Stevens & Dr Will Buckingham.
We take our name from the Medieval Chinese writer, Liu Xie, and his book the Wenxin diaolong (文心雕龍), or The Heart of Literature, the Carving of Dragons.
So cultivate the strength of the wind, and make the bone robust.
蔚彼風力，嚴此骨鯁。
For Liu, writing needs a balance of wind (feng 風) — vitality, life and spiritedness — and bone (gu 骨) — organisation and structure. We take this as good advice not just for writing, but also for social change, and for life.

The Bulgarian for ‘I Love You’, by Martina Mustafova
A meditation on death, loss and legacy, Martina Mustafova's The Bulgarian for ‘I Love You’ is an exquisitely nuanced essay that brings together the death of her father from Covid-19, and the birth of her first daughter.
What does it mean for those you love to outlive you, or to outlive those you love? Mustafova's masterful essay draws a thread between generations—a bond of kinship and love that does not negate death and grief, but that nevertheless redeems life, even in the face of our loss.
