I very much enjoyed this Pride and Prejudice retelling, which takes place in early 2000's Pakistan. Since I don't know much about the area or culture, knowing the general storyline was helpful so I could focus a bit on the cultural additions to the story. The author uses a similar naming technique, which isn't exactly "necessary" on such a well-known story - it would be easy to determine which character in the re-telling represents the original characters even without similar naming - but I liked seeing what the supposedly culturally equivalent names might be (although I really have no reference for how common the Pakistani names used actually are).
