Many of her works are fiction books set in Manchester with a predominantly female audience. This is definitely a book for supporters with a good knowledge of football and Man United specifically.

The speech of the city of Manchester has never been the subject of an in-depth study. However, starting in September 2019, a team at Manchester Metropolitan University under Rob Drummond has been investigating accents, dialects and identities across Greater Manchester, with an "Accent Van" travelling around the area to interview residents. Results are due in Spring 2022. [10] [ needs update] Speaking on BBC Radio Manchester on 25 March 2021, Rob Drummond said that the area had a particularly broad range of dialects as a result of migrations of people from different areas of the country and the world to specific locations in the area. [11] Prior to modern times, the early dialectologist Alexander John Ellis included the city in his survey of English speech and placed most of Greater Manchester (excluding the Bolton and Wigan areas) in his 21st dialect district, which also included north-west Derbyshire. [12] In the 1982 textbook Accents of English, John C. Wells made some comments on the Manchester dialect, which he described as being "extremely similar" to the dialect of Leeds. [13] His proposed criteria for distinguishing the two are that Mancunians avoid NG-coalescence, so singer /ˈsɪŋɡə/ rhymes with finger /ˈfɪŋɡə/ and king, ring, sing etc. all end with a hard /ɡ/ sound ( /ˈkɪŋɡ, ˈrɪŋɡ, ˈsɪŋɡ/), and also that Leeds residents employ "Yorkshire assimilation", by which voiced consonants change into voiceless consonants in words such as Bradford /ˈbratfəd/, subcommittee /ˈsʊpkəmɪtɪ/ and frogspawn /ˈfrɒkspɔːn/. [13] Throughout the 19th century and for most of the 20th century, speech in Manchester was considered part of the Lancashire dialect. Many of the Lancashire dialect poets of the 19th century came from Manchester and the surrounding area. [14] In the early 20th century, the Manchester Ballads featured Lancashire dialect extensively. [15] As many traditional features of the Lancashire dialect have died out in Manchester, the city has been seen by some in recent years as having a separate dialect. In Peter Trudgill's book The Dialects of England, it was classified as part of the "Northwest Midlands" dialect region. [16] Through a mixture of memoir and interviews with well-known Mancunians such as Guy Garvey, Tunde Babalola, Sylvia Tella, Badly Drawn Boy, and Stan Chow, David Scott portrays the city at the turn of the century in a way never seen before.
