I was unsure if I was going to enjoy this retelling of the classic romantic tale but I loved it . I enjoyed the homely characters and the large intertwined families packed with traditions. Khalid was a man with high religious beliefs and family values and would not go against his mother’s wishes.Whereas Ayesha also had her values but had had a much more humble up bringing and thus a freer spirit and more freedom of expression. This is a classic boy meets girl storyline and is a lovely sweet tale that is a pleasant read. It was good to find out traditions and values from other cultures in a light hearted entertaining read. The book cover depicted the story and its values perfectly and went well with the blurb
