The Things I Would Tell You: British Muslim Women Write by Sabrina Mahfouz

4.0

These are the unsung Muslim female voices that everyone needs to read and listen to! The Things I Would Tell You is a collection of short stories, poems, plays and other literary works, written from the perspective of 22 different British Muslim women, ranging from seasoned authors to up-and-coming youngsters and coming from a diverse range of backgrounds, nationalities and sexualities.

This book was challenging and unafraid, full of poignant voices that deserve way more recognition. Within its pages are literary works that expand upon themes such as identity, loss, racism, ignorance and alienation. I was very much impressed by the vast majority of this book and would encourage all to read it.
