'Enchanting, achingly funny and uplifting, Ayesha at Last is a must read!' Randa Abdel-Fattah

A big-hearted, captivating, modern-day Muslim Pride and Prejudice, with hijabs instead of top hats and kurtas instead of corsets.

AYESHA SHAMSI has a lot going on. Her dreams of being a poet 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 to 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…

    A book about marriage and love in a Muslim setting. It resembles pride and prejudice alot 💕.
    Ayesha Shamsi (Elizabeth Bennett) , an unmarried girl in her late 20's loves poetry rather than her recent job being a substitute teacher at a school. She thinks about others and tries to keep others happy without thinking about what would make her happy and what she really wants.
    Khalid marzi (Mr. Darcy) , with a well settled job and family. He's of the opinion that love comes after marriage. He is stuck between religious diversity.

    When I read the book I was in so much in a cliff hang situation that what's gonna happen next. When Ayesha and Khalid first meet, the misinterpretation that they built about each other, OH GOSH that's so much tension, like alot🥵!!! What made me worry so much was that Khalid took Ayesha to be Hafsa. I was constantly praying he finds out because Khalid and Hafsa weren't the match😏🙈. It's was more of Ayesha and Khalid 🤭😍. But then finally they get a second chance and all the plots are resolved. That was when my heart felt calm 💖.
    If you have read Jane Austen's pride and prejudice then this is definitely your next read 🔥🙌.

    Blooming brilliant! A little slow to start but after the sixth chapter i was hooked! A very well composed novel describing culture, traditions and religion impeccably. A truly inspiring read. Thank you!

    chair. “People are intimidated by a woman in power, Clara. They think it goes against the natural order of things. But the world is changing, and it’s important that we embrace the transformation. You grew up in Newfoundland.”

    Clara blinked, head spinning at Sheila’s abrupt topic change. So her new boss hadn’t been simply ignoring her outside in the hallway

    I was so afraid of losing Ayesha I didn’t think things through. It’s not enough to find someone you love. You have to be ready for that love, and ready to make changes to welcome it into your life.
