THE THINGS I WOULD TELL YOU: BRITISH MUSLIM WOMEN WRITE
Book ID/图书代码： 11908518C00006
English Summary/英文概要： 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.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 20多位作家，包括Kamila Shamsie、Ahdaf Soueif和Hanan al-Shaykh，创作了这部赏心悦目、时不时有带有感性的、幽默的、和悲辛的故事。
这本具有开创性的合集的作者们打破了穆斯林妇女限定的形象。从伊斯兰手机社交用户获悉，一位不再抱有幻想的，担任电视聊天节目主持人毛拉（巴基斯坦、印度等国对波斯语和阿拉伯语学者的称号）;和一个被军情六处勒索的整形外科医生。一位追随事业的中东女演员梦想着自己能再度出演一个圣战新娘一角。在被围困的地点的名誉之战和一段悲情爱恋，我们还能发现温情的亲情联系和对现状的有力挑战。(Sandy)
