About this product
Product Information
When Shelina Janmohamed, an Oxford-educated Muslim living in the bubbling ethnic mix of North London, opted for the traditional "arranged" route to finding a partner, she never suspected it would be the journey of her life. Through ten long years of matchmaking buxom aunties, countless mismatches, and outrageous dating disasters, Shelina discovers more about herself and her faith. Along the way, she learns that sometimes being true to her religion means challenging tradition, while readers learn much about Islam that may surprise them.

Reviews
"Her journey is at times hilarious, but also a rare and fascinating insight into what it means to be a Muslim woman. There has been a lot written about the horrors of arranged marriage, but here you see it at its best." -The Good Book Guide, "Her account of having to meet the succession of suitors-frequently unsavory, reluctant or downright rude-is hilarious. . . . A forthright, charming tale of unraveling the 'overwhelming contradictions and tangles' of identity." -Kirkus Review "A delightful memoir that celebrates spirituality, self-empowerment, female agency and resistance to cultural (both 'Eastern' and 'Western') dictates on women's roles and identities." -Randa Abdel-Fattah, author ofDoes My Head Look Big in This? "What a fun glimpse into the courting rituals of a traditional South Asian British Muslim community! Janmohamed's colorful and often humorous memoir shows us how those of another culture and religion might navigate the search for love, that most universal of themes. Perfect for the bedside table, but enlightening, as well.
