A wonderful retelling of Pride and Prejudice that kind of makes fun of the fact that it is a retelling.  The main character Alys, has studied P and P and constantly is wondering what Austen would think of her situation.  Never stepping back to see that she in fact is Elizabeth Bennett.  What made this so enjoyable for me was the insight into Pakistan and the culture.
