Unmarriageable by Soniah Kamal
Pride and Prejudice + Pakistan? Sign me up! Jane Austen retellings are my bread and butter, and setting her most famous work in modern-day Pakistan was a brilliant move by Kamal. It’s fun reading how Kamal bends the story’s plot to fit contemporary issues and seeing how a woman’s role in a marriage may not be all that different from the original’s time period. Quick, witty, and clever story for a summer afternoon read.
