Michelle Gallen reads a section of her novel Big Girl, Small Town. Michelle is joined by Clara Ministral who reads her Spanish translation.

For each episode of 'Talking Translations' we have paired a story with a language, and asked the author and translator to read their work aloud. It is our hope to share these stories with listeners around the world, heard in languages where the author may not yet  be widely published.
