Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin

4.0

Everyone once in a while Overdrive sends me a notice saying “the book you had on hold has been added to your library” and I look at the title and wonder. But the minute I heard “Because while it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single Muslim man must be in want of a wife, there’s an even greater truth: To his Indian mother, his own inclinations are of secondary importance.” I figured out why I had put it on hold.

Loosely based on Pride and Prejudice, I enjoyed the story and the Austen quotes skillfully included in the tale.
