christellereadsalot 's review for:
Ayesha at Last
by Uzma Jalaluddin
This was my local library's Book of the Month when it was last opened in October. I have never been disappointed by their choice of Books of the Month and that's why I picked this one up. I have to be honest, it's not a book I would have chosen myself as I am not into romance books very much. I'm so glad I picked it up as I absolutely loved it.
The novel, which is the author's first (I will definitely check out her next one, which, I think, is out in a few months time), is set in the Muslim community in Canada. It is beautifully written, witty and teaches us about other people's culture and traditions. I learnt a lot from this book.
My head was full of beautiful colours, beautiful clothes and, after the description of the wedding, I endee up dreaming about colourful clothes and rooms.
I loved the two main characters, Ayesha (an outspoken single 27-year old poet) and Khalid (a very shy, innocent/naive, kind young man, who lives with his controlling mother). I also loved Nana and Nani, Ayesha's grandparents, who I would love to meet.
The book also made me hungry for Indian food and cooking. I would love to have a cooking lesson from Nani, and also a gardening lesson from Nana.
