Don't get fooled! Nasreen Akhtar's memoir isn't about going fishing, but about her rocky road trip to find love.
Catch a Fish from the Sea (Using the Internet) is a witty story of an ordinary British Muslim woman who set out to find Mr. Right, as the title indicates, using the Internet!
I won't use philosophical words or delve too deep into the points i want to get across concerning this book, but I'll be simple and frank!
In not so many words, Akhtar's book is a must read because it's easy and fun.
What also makes reading Catch a Fish from the Sea a heartfelt experience is the honesty of Akhtar.
Her story is a new kind of adventure that's worth following. It gives an insight to the British Pakistani community and it's social and cultural beliefs, that many have no idea about.
Thanks for the review, i will try to get this book from amazon this week :)
At last someone who tells the realities of Muslim matrimonials!
I read this book a few weeks ago - a friend gave me it and since then I have got my own copy as well as having bought copies for my other friends.
It is remarkable in every sense of the word and brings out emotions in you that even you didn't know existed. The heart-ache, the joy, the transformations, the issues, the tears, the laughter, the rollercoaster - this book is without doubt a phenomenal experience.
This book has made it to the longlist for the World Book Day -Book to Talk About 2009 award!
I am engrossed in it already. What a read so far!
Will write an indepth review when I have finished it.
