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

3.0

I think this is an important collection of work and these are definitely voices we need to hear. However, I think this particular collection was a bit scattered in focus.. Of course, it's such a broad category - British Muslim women and there is a diverse representation of voices and types of writing but I found it a bit too random, besides the thread of British Muslim women. I mostly picked it up became Kamila Shamsie has a work in there and her writing is outstanding. It was the strongest piece in this collection, for me. I also loved This Body is Woman by Nafeesa Hamid and related mostly to My Other Half by Samira Shackle. Blood and Broken Bodies by Shaista Aziz was really powerful..
