Rumer Goddens story is of a family whose relationships with each other are as fragile and complicated as their relationships with India and her people. But just as the cracks and holes in the house they live in are papered over, somehow they manage to sustain the impression of respectability to the outside world. That is until the death of Emilys beloved dog forces them to confront their differences and ultimately plunges them into outright war.
