Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin
4.0

As a lifelong (well, almost) Jane Austen fan, and a definite fan of retellings, this book was right up my alley. While it's a Pride and Prejudice "retelling" (sort of), it doesn't hit you over the head with similarities like some retellings do. The story was perfectly plausible in the modern age and gave me some insight into a subset of a different culture. It definitely had a romance as the main element, but it also dealt with workplace religious discrimination, family dynamics, and cultural expectations. It was a thoroughly enjoyable read.
