Summary

Multan, Pakistan.

A conservative city where an unmarried woman over the age of 25 is considered a curse by her family.

Ayesha is 27. Independent and happily single, she has evaded an arranged marriage because of her family's reduced circumstances. When she catches the eye of powerful, wealthy Raza, it seems like the answer to her parents' prayers. But Ayesha is in love with someone else, and when she refuses to give up on him, Raza resorts to unthinkable revenge. . .

Ayesha travels to London to rebuild her life and there she meets Kamil, an emotionally damaged man with his own demons. They embark on a friendship that could mean salvation for them both, but danger stalks Ayesha in London. With her life thrown into turmoil, she is forced to make a decision that could change her and everyone she loves forever.

An important and truly affecting story.

I have been immersed in this novel. Such an important theme, and with very well-drawn characters that I know will live on in my mind long after the story has ended.

Hard-hitting fiction from Pakistan's finest

Someone Like Her is a novel that tackles the unimaginable hardships of a Pakistani girl trapped in a web of cultural and personal problems. Khan provides a thought-provoking tale as the reader is pulled into Ayesha's world and the immense challenges she faces.

Raza is an insidious character who shows the abuse of elite power and the flawed justice system. As the story unfolds, you can't help but root for Ayesha as she traverses constant threats towards emancipation.

This hard-hitting novel highlights injustice, but there is light at the end of the tunnel with some heartwarming moments. Kamil is a believable hero, and his humanity shines through the darkness. I particularly enjoyed the contrast of the two locations with the distinct differences between Multan and London. The unique flavour of both countries reaches the page and portrays a world where people are not only the problem but the solution.

I've read all of Khan's novels so far, and this is my favourite one yet. It's tense, well-drawn and relevant. Tough subjects? Absolutely. But you can't help but read on, hoping for good to triumph over evil.

I am looking forward to seeing what Khan writes next!

Another brilliant story from Awais Khan

Story was great despite the subject matter - the brutal and savage mistreatment of women in Pakistan - it was not gratuitous at all. Avais Khan is a respectful storyteller with empathy and compassion, though rightly damning about the Pakistani rich and so powerful.

As good as the story is it was slightly marred by the stumbles in the reading which didn’t quite bump me out but were annoying. Other than that the acting by the narrator was good however. Writing this review on my phone, it’s tricky to check her name without risking losing what I’ve written so far! (Her name should also be on the front cover imo.)
