i didn't like how sometimes india and pakistan were presented as being backwards and there was one part like this isn't india or pakistan you can do whatever you want. i'm paraphrasing here but the general gist was that over there people don't have much choice in who they marry and how they live their life. and it didn't really sit well with me. but I'll read some more from this author before i can form a valid opinion

Other than the narrators butchered Urdu and Hindi pronunciation, I have no complaints. Such a fun read!

I love a good Jane Austen retelling and this one delivers. Ayesha at Last is a fairly loose retelling that brings Pride & Prejudice into the 21st Century Canadian Muslim community. Ayesha and Khalistan are both so likeable. Ayesha is outspoken, opinionated and of course, extremely stubborn. Khalid is a quiet character, a conservative Muslim, including dressing in traditional Muslim clothing. Much of the prejudice focuses around Khalid and attitudes toward him including workplace discrimination and Ayesha’s own assumptions. A brilliant update for Pride & Prejudice fans.
