Unmarriageable by Soniah Kamal
A sharp, modern-day retelling of a classic romance set in contemporary Pakistan, the novel follows Alys Binat, a fiercely intelligent young woman whose family's dwindling finances and her mother's social ambitions complicate her prospects; alongside her pragmatic sister, she navigates snobbery, religious and class prejudices, matchmakers, and the expectations of a marriage-minded society. When a wealthy, enigmatic man arrives, misunderstandings, pride, and secrets threaten to pull them apart, while the story skewers hypocrisy and explores gender, class, and self-worth with wit, warmth, and pointed social commentary.
