Hana Khan Carries On

From
the author of Ayesha at Last comes a sparkling new rom-com for fans of
“You’ve Got Mail,” set in two competing halal restaurants

Sales are slow at Three Sisters Biryani Poutine, the only
halal restaurant in the close-knit Golden Crescent neighbourhood. Hana
waitresses there part time, but what she really wants is to tell stories on the
radio. If she can just outshine her fellow intern at the city radio station,
she may have a chance at landing a job. In the meantime, Hana pours her
thoughts and dreams into a podcast, where she forms a lively relationship with
one of her listeners. But soon she’ll need all the support she can get: a
new competing restaurant, a more upscale halal place,
is about to open in the Golden Crescent, threatening Three Sisters.

When her mysterious aunt and her teenage cousin arrive from
India for a surprise visit, they draw Hana into a long-buried family secret.
A hate-motivated attack on their neighbourhood
complicates the situation further, as does Hana’s growing attraction for Aydin,
the young owner of the rival restaurant—who
might not be a complete stranger after all.

As
life on the Golden Crescent unravels, Hana must learn to
use her voice, draw on the strength of her community and decide
what her future should be.
