Here, swathed in silence, a widower struggles with feelings for an unmarried cousin while his motherless daughter Bakul runs wild with Mukunda, an orphan of unknown caste adopted by the family. Confined in a room at the top of the house, the matriarch goes slowly mad, while her husband searches for its cause as he shapes and reshapes his garden.As Mukunda and Bakul grow, their intense closeness matures into something else, and Mukunda is banished to Calcutta. Although he prospers in the turbulent years after Partition, his thoughts are all of what was once his home, of Bakul, to all that he has lost – and he knows that he must return.
