Synopsis
Ramchand, a tired shop assistant in Sevak Sari House in Amritsar, spends his days patiently showing yards of fabric to the women of "status families" and to the giggling girls who dream of dressing up in silk but can only afford cotton. When Ramchand is sent to show his wares to a wealthy family preparing for their daughter's wedding, he is jolted out of the rhythm of his narrow daily life. His glimpse into a different world gives him an urgent sense of possibility. And so he attempts to recapture the hope that his childhood had promised, arming himself with two battered English grammar books, a fresh pair of socks, and a bar of Lifebuoy soap. But soon these efforts turn his life upside down, bringing him face to face with the cruelties on which his very existence depends. Reading group guide included.

Etat : Aceptable. : En las polvorientas calles de Amritsar, el joven Ramchand se apresura para llegar tarde al trabajo una vez más. Regañado por su jefe, toma su lugar entre los algodones y sedas de la tienda de saris, vendiendo metros de tela a las mujeres ricas y elegantes de la ciudad. Al vislumbrar un mundo más opulento, Ramchand se siente seducido por la idea de que podría mejorar de alguna manera. Pero hacer realidad los sueños tendrá un precio que un pobre dependiente de tienda tal vez no pueda pagar. Divertida, convincente e implacablemente honesta, 'The Sari Shop' es una historia desgarradora sobre la lucha de un joven por ser otra persona y un debut brillantemente lúcido.
