Description
Under a Tin-Grey Sari is a sensual love story set in 1967 in the bustling city of Chittagong, East Pakistan. It is a time of boom and ferment. A time when a household cook may dream of fame and fortune, a bearer brazenly spits in the drinks of oblivious sahibs, an ayah sublimely seduces a minisahib, and a letterwriter links the dead with the living.
