Sobre este áudio

Bloomsbury presents The Big Day by Aliya Ali-Afzal, read by Aasiya Shah.

THE BIG DAY is a big delight... I was rooting for Noor and Dan and their happy ever after throughout. It was a wonderful read' – Cesca Major

***

A funny and heartwarming novel about a British-Asian mother and daughter, who clash over the plans for the bride's Big Day.

Noor has no interest in getting married (much to the aunties' distress). Growing up she saw first-hand how divorce tears families apart... But then, she falls in love.

Soon, Noor’s engaged and planning an intimate wedding that feels perfect for her and her fiancé Dan. But when Noor discovers her mother Leena also has grand plans for the Big Day, their once-close relationship starts to unravel. Noor can’t understand why Leena is determined to have an elaborate Desi celebration when their lives have been anything but traditional. And after a lifetime following other people’s dreams, Noor is determined not to back down.

As Leena and Noor clash over every point on their to-do lists, it begins to look like there will be two weddings and only one bride. And when family secrets shake the women’s bond further, will there even be a wedding at all?

Resumo da Crítica

So charming, funny and a pleasure to read. I totally see why Aliya has been called a refreshing new voice (Jessica George, author of My Name is Maame)
This book packs a full punch of emotions - I laughed, I groaned, I cringed, but most of all, I fell in love with Noor, her family, and her culture. A beautiful celebration that I wish I could relive all over again (Jesse Q. Sutanto, USA Today Bestselling author of Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers)
Aliya writes books that literally have it all... Nail-biting tension, laugh out loud humour and razor-sharp intelligence... There is enough heart and wisdom in this novel to keep you feeling warm and fuzzy long after you have finished reading (Sairish Hussain)
A hilarious, big-hearted tale grappling with the delights and pressures facing British-Pakistani women today. Ali-Afzal is the desi answer to Sophie Kinsella, Ms Marvel actress (Mehwish Hayat)
Aliya is such an intelligent, observant writer and The Big Day is multi-layered genre fiction at its best. It is funny and propulsive but weighted in truth and real issues. Aliya has such a strong voice and her brilliant cast of characters are nuanced and clearly drawn. A real page turner for a weekend’s distraction or a great holiday read too. (Kate Sawyer)
The characters are drawn superbly and the story is as much a study on what it is to navigate modern life while keeping a steady hand on the tiller of tradition and expectation. It is a story of identity and culture and most of all love - in all it's guises. (Faith Hogan)
