The things I would tell you, an anthology of British Muslim women’s writing edited by poet and playwright Sabrina Mahfouz, celebrates the diversity of Muslim women’s voices. Published by Saqi books in April 2017, it was described as "important, and timely" by novelist Eimear McBride. Writer Nikesh Shukla meanwhile called it an “exquisite collection… full of energy, experimentation, honesty, beauty, fury, heartbreak and laughs.”
