Description
'A deft, satisfying and poignant collection of stories . . . I loved it' Pandora Sykes
'Huma Qureshi is a writer I know I'll be reading for years and years and years' Natasha Lunn, author of Conversations on Love
A breathtaking collection of stories about our most intimate relationships, and the secrets, misunderstandings, and silences that haunt them.
A daughter asks her mother to shut up, only to shut her up for good; an exhausted wife walks away from the husband who doesn't understand her; on holiday, lovers no longer make sense to each other away from home.
Set across the blossoming English countryside, the stifling Mediterranean, and the bustling cities of London and Lahore, Things We Do Not Tell the People We Love illuminates the parts of ourselves we rarely reveal.
Longlisted for the Jhalak Prize

'These are stories of fierce clarity and tenderness - I loved them' Lucy Caldwell, author of Intimacies
