Winner of the 2019 Hearst Big Books Award - Cosmopolitan\'s Book of the Year A Mirror \'Best Books to Read This Summer\' pick______________A big-hearted, captivating, modern-day Muslim Pride and Prejudice, with hijabs instead of top hats and kurtas instead of corsets. Ayesha Shamsi has a lot going on. Her dreams of being a poet have been overtaken by a demanding teaching job. Her boisterous Muslim family, and numerous (interfering) aunties, are professional naggers. And her flighty young cousin, about to reject her one hundredth marriage proposal, is a constant reminder that Ayesha is still single.Ayesha might be a little lonely, but the one thing she doesn\'t want is an arranged marriage. And then she meets Khalid... How could a man so conservative and judgmental (and, yes, smart and annoyingly handsome) have wormed his way into her thoughts so quickly?As for Khalid, he\'s happy the way he is; his mother will find him a suitable bride. But why can\'t he get the captivating, outspoken Ayesha out of his mind? They\'re far too different to be a good match, surely...\'A clever homage to Jane Austen\'s Pride and Prejudice that you\'ll love, even if you never got round to reading the original.\' Cosmopolitan Σελίδες: 352, Διαστάσεις: 12.9x12.9cm
