The Things I Would Tell You: British Muslim Women Write

by Sabrina Mahfouz (Editor) - £12.99  Saqi Books (2017)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780863561467 | ISBN 10: 0863561462

From established literary heavyweights to emerging spoken word artists, the writers in this ground-breaking collection blow away the narrow image of the ‘Muslim Woman’.
 
Hear from users of Islamic Tinder, a disenchanted Maulana working as a TV chat show host and a plastic surgeon blackmailed by MI6. Follow the career of an actress with Middle-Eastern heritage whose dreams of playing a ghostbuster spiral into repeat castings as a jihadi bride. Among stories of honour killings and ill-fated love in besieged locations, we also find heart-warming connections and powerful challenges to the status quo.
 
From Algiers to Brighton, these stories transcend time and place revealing just how varied the search for belonging can be.
