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

emotional hopeful informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

This collection was very good. In fact, some of the stories / poems impressed me a lot.

A poem written by a 14 year old girl called Seema Begum was really beautiful.
Many of these are really beautiful, full of humanity.

I think this book also represents why I love London... even with all its flaws, it's a place that transcends its multicultural background and gives a chance to everyone. Plus I related dearly to the search for true belonging - perhaps where we are most at home it's not where we were born, but where we feel at home.
