In a crowded Calcutta bazaar, a striking man and a haunted woman cross paths amid rain, rumor, and risk.
A vivid, urban backdrop introduces characters on the edge of respectability. The story follows a French-influenced tailor and a young woman drawn into a web of secrets, class tension, and danger in a world where loyalty and desire clash with survival.
The narrative blends sensory detail with social texture—from narrow lanes and smoky rooms to the tension of unspoken loyalties. It centers on choices made under pressure and the cost of a life lived among the city’s shadows.
Ideal for readers who enjoy historical fiction with intricate social dynamics and a strong sense of place.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the lives of half-caste and low-class British Eurasians in Calcutta during the late 19th-century British colonial era. The author takes a compassionate and unflinching look at the lives of these people, who faced discrimination and prejudice from both the British and Indian communities. Through their stories, the author explores themes of identity, belonging, poverty, and the complex social and racial dynamics of the time. The book's detailed depiction of everyday life in a Eurasian slum, together with the social customs and religious practices of the time, allows the reader to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and resilience of people living on the fringes of society during the height of the British Empire. Offering a rich tapestry of human experience, this book is a significant contribution to colonial literature.
