The Cambridge curry club

The action of 'The Cambridge Curry Club' unfolds over just nine hours in a single day, during which the four women - three Indian and one Irish - working in Cambridge's 'IndiaNeed' charity shop - battle to cope with the day's unpredictable events, as well as their overbearing employer. The colourful chaos of a bustling mercantile street is portrayed in this provocative tale of "town and gown" against the backdrop of very proper Cambridge, England. Set in the fictional India, the book it revolves around the misadventures of the all-female volunteer staff -- three wildly disparate East Asians, one fiery Irishwoman, and their imperious Armani-clad manager, "Lady Di." Disaster, death, and romance come to a boil as a normal day spirals into pandemonium in a series of bizarre events. Underneath the laughs wriggle a number of questions that won't go quietly: Where is home? If life is a struggle, is it about taking control, holding on, or letting go? Despite the antics of lovers, husbands, and eccentric customers, these reluctant heroines do their best to survive.
