             Ayesha at Last - Uzma Jalaluddin
                            Guilty Pleasure

This book is being compared to "Pride and Prejudice".Since I have not read "P and P",  I can not say if it is modern version of that classic. I will say that it is a cute and quirky romantic comedy.

Ayesha's grandfather says ." Choose to live your life as a comedy, not a tragedy"

There were very good descriptions of Indian food and clothes and also the prejudices that the Muslim people face.

This was a quick and enjoyable read.

Goodreads says:::
A smart young Muslim Canadian woman navigates the complexities of career, love, and family in this lively homage to a Jane Austen classic. "While it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single Muslim man must be in want of a wife, there's an even greater truth: To his Indian mother, his own inclinations are of secondary importance." With that nod to Pride and Prejudice firmly in place, Jalaluddin lays the groundwork for a raucous story that mixes a zany cast of characters with a tightly wound plot
