Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin

Sometimes there were no words, only sunshine on your heart.“

This is billed as a Pride & Predjudice retelling- but in my opinion the connection to the source material is pretty loose. That’s not a bad thing. Whether or not you’ve ever read P&P you can absolutely read this book. At the heart of this comedy/romance/family story is the Muslim community. I loved how the cultural undertones helped drive the story and character arcs.

Certain sections did feel a little laborious- but overall I found it to be a diversely charming, delightfully witty and downright entertaining read.
