Through this story, she wanted to introduce people to a Muslim community. The books Austen wrote were really warm, she feels. She wants readers to laugh along with her. The humor is not mocking and you feel like you are actually in on the joke. Some of the characters are middle class, some are wealthy. She loves “Pride and Prejudice” and keeps going back to it, she thinks, because of Austen’s inclusive, mischievous wit.
It is a bit of a revamped “Pride and Prejudice” that has been set in a close-knit Toronto Muslim community. Her debut novel, “Ayesha At Last” was released in the year 2018 and is a romance novel. Besides writing fiction, Uzma writes about parenting and culture for The Toronto Star, in a humorous column called “Samosas and Maple Syrup”.
At the conference, that past all comes hurtling back at Nada, bringing new complications and a moment of reckoning.Author Uzma Jalaluddin was born in the year 1980, and is a Canadian Muslim. What Haleema doesn’t know is that Nada and Baz have a past-some of it good, some of it bad, and all of it secret. and what better place than at the giant annual Muslim conference downtown, where Nada can finally meet Haleema’s fiancé, Zayn? And did Haleema mention Zayn’s brother Baz will be there? Nada’s best friend, Haleema, is determined to pry her from her shell.
Something needs to change, but the past is holding on too tightly to let her move forward. Nothing in her life has turned out the way it was supposed to, and Nada feels like a failure. While Nada has a good job as an engineer, it’s a far cry from realizing the start-up dreams for her tech baby, Ask Apa, the app that launched with a whimper instead of a bang because of a double-crossing business partner. On the cusp of thirty, she’s still living at home with her brothers and parents in the Golden Crescent neighbourhood of Toronto, resolutely ignoring her mother’s unsubtle pleas to get married already. A sparkling second-chance romance inspired by Jane Austen’s Persuasion
