Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin
5.0

This was such a delightful book! It’s loose retelling of Pride and Prejudice with a bit of Shakespearean mistaken identity thrown in. The character parallels are obvious when each character is introduced, so it’s fun to see the new characters compare to the old. I was a little disappointed there wasn’t a strong parallel to Mr. Collins though. There are just a few lines taken directly or almost directly from P&P, which added to my enjoyment because the were like finding Easter eggs.

It’s been awhile since I throughly enjoyed a book like I did this one.
