Through a motley array of colourful characters and lush and vivid descriptions, the early 19th century Calcutta is brought to life in this novella. It tells of love, forgiveness, and self-discovery while addressing colonialism and cruelty; all poetically and humorously narrated with a keen eye for detail.
