Driving back from Savannah to Minneapolis I was able to listen to the book Ayesha At Last by Uzma Jalaluddin. The story seemed familiar although the two main characters did not. Ayesha is a Muslim high school teacher in Toronto. Khalid is a Muslim man working in technology support at a large company. Khalid is a conservative Muslim. He and Ayesha end up working together on a youth conference at their mosque. They really don't like each other or at least they appear not to like each other. By the end of the story I realized this is a reworking of Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice. I thought it was an interesting book though and it helped pass the miles through Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, and Iowa quickly.
