Riassunto

"Filled with humor and honesty."—Kate Forster

"Funny, wise, and moving. . . . A tribute to the fabulous power of female friendship."—Jaishree Misra

It is a truth universally acknowledged . . .

Esma is a modern Muslim woman with an age-old dilemma. She is well-educated, well-traveled, and has excellent taste in music, but the hunt for Mr. Right leads her to a number of Mr. Wrongs.

Together with wild-haired Ruby, principled Lisa, and drop-dead gorgeous Nirvana, Esma forms the No Sex in the City Club.

Her quest for The One (or Mr. Almost-Perfect) was never going to be easy, but soon enough it takes an unexpected and thrilling detour.

Randa Abdel-Fattah is an award-winning writer and best-selling author of Does My Head Look Big in This? The author of eight novels for young adults, Randa is also a litigation lawyer and human rights activist. No Sex in the City is her first novel for adults. She lives in Sydney, Australia, with her husband and two children.

'Randa Abdel-Fattah's decision to explore a young woman's attempts to remain true to her faith and traditional beliefs in a modern society is a bold one. In Esma's world, family life is as important as her career and finding Mr Right. Her parents are Turkish immigrants and they participate in the hunt for a prospective bridegroom, with sometimes hilarious results.' --Independent
