Things We Do Not Tell the People We Love
*Longlisted for the Jhalak Prize*
*Longlisted for the Edge Hill Prize*
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.
'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

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
