Exploring the theme of illusions, this Anglo-Indian novel delves into the complexities of power dynamics between rulers and the ruled, as well as personal relationships. Set against the backdrop of political drawing rooms in London and the English station in Pilaghur, the story is sparked by the murder of a native by an English soldier, leading to profound changes in the lives of its sharply depicted characters. With a darker tone and deeper irony than her earlier works, it critiques both imperialism and familial illusions.
