ISBN 13: 9781905147694 | ISBN 10: 1905147694
An ironic postcolonial romp that has little to do with British curry, takes a potshot at everything and keeps you laughing until it hurts.
It's Cambridge. Not college or chapel, but the shop 'IndiaNeed' on colourful Mill Road. Nothing should go wrong on a normal day, but everything does. How was an adult video of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs sold with the Lego? Disaster, death and romance appear on the menu as three women of Indian origin and a fierce Irishwoman battle their arrogant Armani-clad English employer.
Will the bungling heroines survive despite lovers, husbands and eccentric customers?
