　　一部始于爱、但不止于爱的小说集，巴基斯坦裔英国作家胡玛·库雷希聚焦于日常生活中的种种亲密关系，讲述家人们如何走向误解，朋友们如何走向沉默，伴侣们如何走向失和，如手术刀一般，将人性中最难琢磨、最为纠结的部分切开，把显微镜递到我们面前。

　　跟随故事中的男男女女，一起去往世界各地——英格兰的乡村、法国南部、意大利的托斯卡纳、繁华的伦敦，以及热闹的拉合尔——目睹他们在离开舒适区，卸下伪装后的真实姿态，步入他们内心鲜少对外开放的秘密花园。

　　一幕幕既陌生、又熟悉的情节跃然纸上，仿佛诉说的不是他人的故事，而是我们自己的境遇：一个女儿想要母亲闭嘴，却让她永远闭上了嘴；一位妻子精疲力竭，却因丈夫的冷漠而心生退意；一对情侣离家度假，却发现彼此不再相互理解……

　　一切的一切，似乎都跟开不了口有关。而那些未能讲给所爱之人的心声，也许都写在了这部作品里。

In a collection of stories that begin with, but go beyond, love, the Pakistani-British author Huma Qureshi focuses on the intimate relationships of everyday life, how families go wrong, friends go silent, partners go wrong, and like a scalpel, it slices through the most elusive and tangled parts of human nature and puts the microscope before us.

Follow the men and women around the world - rural England, the south of France, Tuscany in Italy, bustling London and bustling Lahore - as they leave their comfort zones, take off their disguising and step into the secret gardens of their hearts that are rarely open to the public.

Scenes at once unfamiliar and familiar burst onto the page, as if telling our own circumstances rather than someone else's: a daughter who wants her mother to shut up but keeps her mouth shut forever; A exhausted wife who withdraws from her husband's indifference; A couple leave for a vacation only to find that they no longer understand each other...

Everything, it seems, has something to do with not being able to speak. And the things that have not been said to loved ones may be written in this work.
