Ayesha at Last

by Uzma Jalaluddin

[Lorelei's Lit Lair]

I throughly enjoyed reading Ayesha At Last by Uzma Jalaluddin. This modern day retelling of Pride & Prejudice with Sheakspeare sprinkled in since Ayesha loves to write poetry, made for a fun and entertaining story.
I enjoyed watching Khalid and Ayesha’s personal growth as well as the banter, swoon worthy moments and love at last, as the story progressed.
We get a feel of the Muslim community’s traditions, challenges, family drama, life style, and expectations told from different points of view.
The secondary characters really added excitement, drama, wisdom, laughter and some suspense which kept me engaged the whole time. This was a sweet and romantic read. I highly recommend Ayesha At Last and give it 4.5 stars!
