Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin
5.0
Set in Toronto's Muslim community, Ayesha At Last is a lovely modern re-telling of Pride & Prejudice. It's a terrific mixture of traditional P&P elements and enough new ones to make it interesting. I've read quite a few re-tellings and it's a tricky balance that was nicely achieved in this novel. Plus, the H & h were both utterly charming.
Cover: Nice. Not spectacular, but suitable.
Narrator: She did an amazing job! I think I enjoyed it even more because of her skill.
Hogwarts Sorting Hat: There are some aspects of their characters that are quite different, but I actually think both are Ravenclaws. And Khalid has a lot of Hufflepuff tendencies as well.
Themes: Toronto, Muslim community, discrimination, poetry
