Set in India during World War II and the present, the novel is about a man's attempt to discover the truth about his mother.

The man was in fact German, but in small‑town India in those days, all white foreigners were largely thought of as British. This concern for accuracy annoyed my scholarly father even in circumstances as dire as losing his wife to another man.Page 56:
Dinu was older than me, at school he was my protector.
