Following her presentation, the author will sign books. Copies of Unmarriageable will be available for purchase at the event, or bring your own copy for signing.

An Afternoon with Soniah Kamal is sponsored by the FCPL Friends and Advocates.

"Kamal boldly embraces this treasured love story, creating a version solely her own.  The dialog sparkles with sharp humor, which will dazzle readers with counterparts of the original.  Austen devotees will rejoice in this respectful cross-cultural update of a beloved classic." - Library Journal, starred review

"[A] funny, sometimes romantic, often thought-provoking glimpse into Pakistani culture... This is a must-read for devout Austenites."  - Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Kamal's version of the classic novel highlights issues of colonialism, race, and Pakistani identity.  Her insights are pointed and smart.  Put your feet up and enjoy.  It's a delicious book." - Kirkus Reviews
