Ayesha at Last
by Uzma Jalaluddin
Ayesha At Last is loosely based on Pride and Prejudice but in a Muslim community. We have Ayesha, a strong, independent Muslim woman and Khalid who is conservative and judgemental. Despite the fact that they are poles apart and have conflicting attitudes, they fall for each other.
What I love most about this P&P spinoff is that it gives us great insight to the religion and also about how judgemental the society can be when you see a Muslim. You could be totally ignorant about a religion but to mock someone and lebel them 'dangerous' because of the clothes they wear and ideals they uphold is unacceptable. Ayesha At Last succeeds in overcoming that stigma around Muslim religion.
Overall, it is a light, romantic read. I loved the characters but was a bit put-off by too many storylines and hurriedly tying the loose ends towards the end of the book.
