A Mirror Best Books to Read This Summer pick
______________

A big-hearted, captivating, modern-day Muslim Pride and Prejudice, with hijabs instead of top hats and kurtas instead of corsets.

Ayesha Shamsi has a lot going on. Her dreams of being a poet have been overtaken by a demanding teaching job. Her boisterous Muslim family, and numerous (interfering) aunties, are professional naggers. And her flighty young cousin, about to reject her one hundredth marriage proposal, is a constant reminder that Ayesha is still single.

Ayesha might be a little lonely, but the one thing she doesn t want is an arranged marriage. And then she meets Khalid... How could a man so conservative and judgmental (and, yes, smart and annoyingly handsome) have wormed his way into her thoughts so quickly?

As for Khalid, he s happy the way he is; his mother will find him a suitable bride. But why can t he get the captivating, outspoken Ayesha out of his mind? They re far too different to be a good match, surely...

A clever homage to Jane Austen s Pride and Prejudice that you ll love, even if you never got round to reading the original. Cosmopolitan

Uzma Jalaluddin grew up in a close knit, diverse neighbourhood in Toronto, Canada, and regularly attended events at her local mosque, even when her parents didn t make her. Today she teaches in a public high school, and writes Samosas and Maple Syrup , a parenting and culture column for The Toronto Star, Canada s largest daily newspaper. Ayesha at Last is her first novel.
