'Jane Austen meets Bridget Jones... Hilarious' - Glamour

As every woman knows, matchmaking is no easy job. Particularly when you're trying to find a girl for your dull, balding, freshly-divorced cousin and on top of that manage a house full of servants, shop for contraband Prada goods and attend parties every night. Not to mention the fact that your husband disapproves of everything you do, your city is under attack, and your friends can't be trusted - how is a girl to cope?

Reviews for Duty Free

Savagely funny * Sunday Times * Jane Austen's Emma reworked by a Pakistani Helen Fielding...wickedly diverting * Daily Mail * A mix of Bridget Jones and Carrie Bradshaw, post-singledom... universally sharp and funny * Independent * A sly piece of social satire * Financial Times * Hilarious * Metro * Mohsin's first-person comic novel of a Pakistani socialite both enlightens and delights * i * A romp through Pakistan's high society * Sunday Sun * Moni Mohsin is one of the funniest and sharpist satirists writing anywhere in the world today - she can make you laugh out loud even while she delivers hard-hitting critiques of Lahore high society and the state of Pakistani politics * Kamila Shamsie * This is a wildly entertaining book but, beware, it also bites * Neel Mukherjee * Achingly funny, touching and fizzing with intelligence, this book will have you laughing out loud even as you fear for the state of world politics * Tash Aw *
