The story is set in Calcutta and begins when a man receives news of his sister's death after giving birth; the baby daughter survives and he must decide whether to keep her. Through childhood and youth memories, and tales he invents to soothe the girl, the novel explores the lives of women in a turbulent big city and family secrets, with imagination as an escape from a suffocating reality.
