A cleverly written take on 'Pride & Prejudice', based in the muslim immigrant community in Toronto.
So we have Ayesha (Elizabeth Bennett) and Khalid (Darcy), as the central protagonists, and numerous other characters Hafsa (Ayesha’s silly cousin, who mirrors the youngest sister in P&P) and numerous other parallels.
I learned more about arranged marriages from this than I knew previously. Interesting and horizon broadening to read about the immigrant Indian community in Toronto.
Good, although once the main conceit became clear, my interest wained.
