His glimpse into a different world gives him an urgent sense
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.Binding Type: Paperback

Excellent sport sock!
Size: One Size, Color: (100) White / White / Halo Gray
Molds onto foot, super soft and breathable. A lot of my ankle socks tend to slip or cut off blood circulation. This one literally is a perfect fit. No slip. After playing hours of tennis every week, my feet don't feel sore or bruised. Must buy!

Comfort!
Size: One Size, Color: (100) White / White / Halo Gray
Very comfortable! Thinner than the picture shows, but I like the fact that they are no show but still higher in the back and front to protect my heels and such.
