Synopsis
Intense, intimate drama set in a colonial Indian city
A devoted Englishman builds a fragile life with Ameera, a Muslim girl, and their child, only to face joy, loss, and the harsh realities of duty and empire. This book weaves love, faith, and fate into a drama that crosses cultures and borders.
In a world bound by gates, households, and strict social rules, the story follows a man torn between his official responsibilities and the private happiness he finds at home. As forces of illness, upheaval, and tragedy press in, the characters grapple with loyalty, memory, and the cost of happiness in a changing land.
