Publisher's blurb: Under a Tin-Grey Sari is a sensual love story set in 1967 in the bustling city of Chittagong, East Pakistan. Khalid is an ambitious young cook whose dreams of fame and fortune are destroyed when it is alleged that his design of a flashy new-style tandoor oven has been copied from an English sahib's factory. His struggle to reclaim his invention blinds him to the deepening affections of the beautiful new ayah who, to confirm rumors that the love-making of the sahib types is different, has been spending secret erotic afternoons with the mini-sahib of the household. Told against the backdrop of the leaden grey cloudbanks of the impending summer monsoon season, this is a witty and simply told tale of desire and betrayal to which the reader effortlessly succumbs.
