Ebook About “This inventive retelling of Pride and Prejudice charms.”—People “A fun, page-turning romp and a thought-provoking look at the class-obsessed strata of Pakistani society.”—NPRAlys Binat has sworn never to marry—until an encounter with one Mr. Darsee at a wedding makes her reconsider. A scandal and vicious rumor concerning the Binat family have destroyed their fortune and prospects for desirable marriages, but Alys, the second and most practical of the five Binat daughters, has found happiness teaching English literature to schoolgirls. Knowing that many of her students won’t make it to graduation before dropping out to marry and have children, Alys teaches them about Jane Austen and her other literary heroes and hopes to inspire the girls to dream of more. When an invitation arrives to the biggest wedding their small town has seen in years, Mrs. Binat, certain that their luck is about to change, excitedly sets to work preparing her daughters to fish for rich, eligible bachelors. On the first night of the festivities, Alys’s lovely older sister, Jena, catches the eye of Fahad “Bungles” Bingla, the wildly successful—and single—entrepreneur. But Bungles’s friend Valentine Darsee is clearly unimpressed by the Binat family. Alys accidentally overhears his unflattering assessment of her and quickly dismisses him and his snobbish ways. As the days of lavish wedding parties unfold, the Binats wait breathlessly to see if Jena will land a proposal—and Alys begins to realize that Darsee’s brusque manner may be hiding a very different man from the one she saw at first glance. Told with wry wit and colorful prose, Unmarriageable is a charming update on Jane Austen’s beloved novel and an exhilarating exploration of love, marriage, class, and sisterhood.Praise for Unmarriageable “Delightful . . . Unmarriageable introduces readers to a rich Muslim culture. . . . [Kamal] observes family dramas with a satiric eye and treats readers to sparkling descriptions of a days-long wedding ceremony, with its high-fashion pageantry and higher social stakes.”—Star Tribune “Thoroughly charming.”—New York Post “[A] funny, sometimes romantic, often thought-provoking glimpse into Pakistani culture, one which adroitly illustrates the double standards women face when navigating sex, love, and marriage. This is a must-read for devout Austenites.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)Book Unmarriageable: A Novel Review :
First a disclaimer, I am a major Austen fan AND I have been to Pakistan numerous times AND was myself married in Lahore in 1987. I think that qualifies me as an expert and I felt like an insider as I read this book. This story is so amazing. A charming retelling of Pride and Prejudice. Themes such as we find in classic books, translate across cultures and times. Classics are timeless whether it's a classic book or a classic dress! I cannot love the character names enough. Absolutely creative play on words. I had not read P and P in many years, so I refreshed my memory of the characters on Wikipedia. Ms. Kamal is spot on. The dialog just made the story even more complete. At least for me, I could hear the voices in my head, while reading. The idioms used are things that my husband and his family use, so I can assure you, this dialog is genuine. The dialog helped the story leap off the page. There is no doubt, Pakistan is a marriage market. I have seen the process in its various forms and Unmarriageable has captured it to a T. I hope that this story will also open reader's eyes to a Pakistan not often presented on our skewed news sources. Bravo Ms. Kamal on a gorgeous retelling that will provide an authentic glimpse of Pakistani culture and society. Thank you to Net Galley and the author for the ARC, opinions expressed are my own OK, but to me it fell flat. I enjoyed the beginning when Elizabeth was interacting with her students but then it was followed by so many backstories of so many minor characters I had trouble getting into the story and it didn’t really hold my attention until I was about 20% in. I don’t enjoy a lot of description. In this case, I wouldn’t have minded if it had given me a picture of the place and culture but it didn’t. Mostly it was lists of what everyone was wearing and what food was served at every single meal or event. Maybe if I knew anything about the culture this would have been significant but I didn’t know what any of the foods named or clothing were. I tried looking them up at first but it took me too much out of the story. Another thing that took me out of the story was the way people kept talking in little rhymes (“I promise you, I will eat my shoe” “I look forward to mingling and tingling”.) And the names. I don’t know if many of the names are actually Pakistani names or if they were intended to be funny but I found them distracting. (Names like: Hammy and Sammy; Feide Fecker; Pinkie; Tinkle; Falak; Beena, Deena and Weena; Gin and Rum.)I was hoping for a story that would give me a picture of a place and culture I know nothing about but it didn’t’ and the characters felt like flat caricatures to me. I guess I should stop expecting a book from a big publisher to be a cut above what one finds from indies and on free sites. It was Ok but I’ve read better stuff by indies at less than half the price and I’ve read better stuff on free sites. A lot of reviewers seemed to like it maybe you will too but I’d recommend trying to get it from the library or an inexpensive used copy.
