Zara is the 29yo daughter of a Bangladeshi British family (North London, not Tower Hamlets: this is a book extremely grounded in its place). She's a moderately observant Muslim, and takes her religion and culture seriously, while also holding modern British attitudes about eg feminism that make for uneasy bedfellows. There's a lot here about the difficulty of reconciling cultures and fitting different expectations together, and a lot of people with wildly divergent views on how to live and indeed how other people should. Very like reality in fact, and I hugely liked that almost nobody is an outright villain and absolutely nobody is entirely in the right.

Now, with no advance warning...As Zara’s parents compile the equivalent of a dating CV to be distributed within the community and ramp up the suitor search efforts she starts to feel disillusioned and exhausted by it all. just because Zina is normalised doesn’t mean it’s normalised by everyone and a lot of the youth want to do it the Islamic traditional way. The book is about a Bengali but there’s no Islamic aspect to this book at all. I get the main character was desperate but come on!

Even though it’s fiction it’s kind not really highlighting the right way and I feel like it takes away from how inspiring it could’ve been had the author played it right the religious aspect is a big part of marriage in the Bengali community and others as well and so it just felt like the author was taking the piss and whitewashing the culture. Like there are modern day approaches to marriage that don’t include things that go against the religion. I feel like the constant issues in the book were a bit too over exaggerated and I just genuinely think this book was unrealistic. And even if it’s fiction I feel like it can influence the youth a lot and make them think that the way the main character approached marriage and finding a partner in this book is okay but it’s not. It literally felt like someone who wasn’t a Bengali Muslim was trying to have a go at writing about how they thought a Bengali muslim went about marriage I know it takes a lot to write a book and how hard it is to satisfy everyone’s version of Muslim representation in women of their culture so I have to applaud the author for rooting this novel in a sense of place and with a character which has her feet planted in both her British and Bengali culture.IFPI" (in Slovak).
