Women's Fiction
A modern-day Muslim Pride and Prejudice for a new
generation of love. Ayesha Shamsi has a lot going on. Her dreams of being a
poet have been set aside for a teaching job so she can pay
off her debts to her wealthy uncle. She lives with her
boisterous Muslim family and is always being reminded that
her flighty younger cousin, Hafsa, is close to rejecting
her one hundredth marriage proposal. Though Ayesha is
lonely, she doesn't want an arranged marriage. Then she
meets Khalid, who is just as smart and handsome as he is
conservative and judgmental. She is irritatingly attracted
to someone who looks down on her choices and who dresses
like he belongs in the seventh century. When a surprise engagement is announced between Khalid and
Hafsa, Ayesha is torn between how she feels about the
straightforward Khalid and the unsettling new gossip she
hears about his family. Looking into the rumors, she finds
she has to deal with not only what she discovers about
Khalid, but also the truth she realizes about herself.
