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

3.0

he Things I Would Tell You edited by Sabrina Mahfouz

This book has been on my TBR for a while now. And I was so excited that my library had copies of it!

I have read similar books with essays by primarily British Muslim women and have really enjoyed learning more about their experiences living in two cultures.

I’m so sad that I didn’t enjoy this book. In addition to short essays, there are also poems and scripts in here and I think that’s why I didn’t like it. I’ve mentioned before I am not a poetry person and often struggle to read it. I just felt really confused I’m most of the works. I wasn’t grasping the meanings of the poems or symbolism or other poetry things. I just felt like the pieces of literature were not written very clearly.

I hope you all enjoy this one more than I did. I think it’s a great option to check out if you enjoy poetry and anthologies with different types of literature inside!
