Under a Tin-Grey Sari eBook

by Wayne Ashton

About the Book

‘… a lush, sensual and beautifully written tale of love and heartache. A book to be savoured.’ — The Weekend Australian

‘… a stunning book’ — The Age

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 spit in the drinks of oblivious sahibs, an ayah sublimely seduce a minisahib, and a letterwriter link the dead with the living.
