A rationalist uncle, a young man of conscience, a widow of strong will and a narrator who loves her are the four whose chapters make up this book, told by the narrator, Shribilas, as he looks back on the people who made him. Tagore's novella of 1916 is a short, unusual book on faith, doubt and love. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
