We published Hilda Hoy’s beautiful and incredibly moving, Mother Tongue on 1st March 2026 and we can hardly believe it was only a few short months ago.
Since publication it has been a whirlwind of events spanning from Berlin, Germany to Taipei, Taiwan and with many more to come.
So far, events have been held in Berlin including one in Chapters Bookstore. Here in Taiwan there have been events in Bookman Bookstore with translator Jenna Tang and Nowhere Books with novelist and author of Everyday Movement, Gigi Leung in Taipei. Coming up we have two more events scheduled in Akauw Books, Pingtung with translator Petula Parris and then in the charming Boo Boo in Tainan.
Hilda and her book have also been featured in The Auflauf, Everybody’s Reviewing, Taiwanese American.org and Radio Taiwan international.
We’re hugely grateful to everyone who has supported this book so generously and especially to Hilda who chose to share her important story with us here at Wind&Bones Books.
