From the bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Fresh from London, Christine and Donald Manley have come to the alien swelter of Karachi: Christine to conceive a child, Donald to sell the Pill for a pharmaceutical company.

In the ensuing tangle of Anglo-American-Oriental relations, the strangest things for those who have come out East are revealed in the very people with whom they arrived…

Entertaining, subtle and intelligent

Thank God for Deborah Moggach

No neater entertainment has emerged from the debris of our past on the sub-continent
