Synopsis

Fresh from London, Christine and Donald Manley have come to the alien swelter of Karachi- Christine to conceive a cgild, Donald to sell the Pill for a pharmaceutical company. Among the ex-pats already there is straight-talking Duke Hanson, whose all-American values cannot prevent him falling, then sinking, hopelessly in love with a sophisticated Pakistani girl. 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" (Sunday Telegraph)

"Thank God for Deborah Moggach" (Independent)

"No neater entertainment has emerged from the debris of our past on the sub-continent" (Guardian)

"A piece of technical wizardry" (Daily Telegraph)
