I love Jane Austen and I love Pride and Prejudice. So there is no surprise that I was excited to read a South-Asian P&P adaptation. Although it adheres to the basic Austen story structure, it maintains a remarkable commitment to its modern twist: immigrant Muslim families. It is a fresh and an unique story.

Though there is the occasional turn to clichés, Ayesha At Last succeeds at respecting and playfully recreating what makes Pride and Prejudice such a popular book.

The book closes with this sentence "Sometimes there were no words, only sunshine on your heart. Alhamdulilah." And I think it perfectly describes my thoughts about it.
