Ayesha at Last
by Uzma Jalaluddin
I think this might be my favorite P&P retelling. There is just something about the religious, familial, social structure which lends really well to the retelling of a love story that takes place in the 1800s.
Facts:
1. Every person in this novel annoyed me. Every single one. I was irritated with the characters for about half of the novel, and then they made me love them.
2. I felt the same way about P&P
3. I loved that the author gave us multiple perspectives, a few of them that were pretty surprising.
4. My favorite character was Khalid. I loved experiencing his life, and his complex relationship with all the women in his life.
5. This book features a certified b****. I hated her, but felt the friction she created enhanced my reading experience.
6. I liked Ayesha's perspective as well, but not as much as Khalid's. I loved her grandparents!
This is a story about family, and the role we all play in our families. It's a love story--my favorite kind of slow-building, soft romance, which I thought was just precious. I'm definitely going to reread this, and I highly recommend it. I can't wait to see what Uzma Jalaluddin writes next!
