Summary
Zahra Khan is basically Bangladeshi royalty, but being a princess doesn't pay the bills in Paterson, New Jersey. Her plans for financial security this summer involve working long hours at Chai Ho and saving up for college writing courses. Her Amma is convinced that Zahra needs a "good match," Jane Austen style. Harun Emon is wealthy, handsome, and aloof. There's no connection, like the one Zahra has with Nayim Aktar, the new dishwasher at the tea shop. Harum and Zahra decide to "date" and keep Amma happy while pursuing other interests.
