The novel opens in a house on a hill above the sea at Bombay, where a young woman, Charushila, lies ill and her sister watches by her bed, and goes on to follow the two sisters and the people about them. Swarnakumari Devi, Rabindranath Tagore's elder sister and one of the first women to write novels in Bengali, published it in 1879. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
