She is irritatingly attracted to someone who looks down on her choices and dresses like he belongs in the seventh century.Īyesha is torn between how she feels about the straightforward Khalid and the unsettling new gossip she hears about his family. Then she meets Khalid who is just as smart and handsome as he is conservative and judgmental. ![]() Though Ayesha is lonely, she doesn’t want an arranged marriage. She lives with her boisterous Muslim family and is always being reminded that her flighty younger cousin, Hafsa, is close to rejecting her one hundredth marriage proposal. Her dreams of being a poet have been set aside for a teaching job so she can pay off her debts to her wealthy uncle. I feel like this has been the year of Pride and Prejudice retellings, but I think Ayesha at Last might be my favorite! It transcends the original, bringing new depth to the story. ![]()
