A BIG HEARTED CAPTIVATING, MODERN DAY MUSLIM PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, WITH HIJABS INSTEAD OF TOP HATS AND KURTAS INSTEAD

OF CORSETS.

yesha Shamsi has a lot going on. Her dreams of being a poet, A 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 co 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...
