This abstract is from the cover of the book.
In the gracious and stifling upper-class world of British-ruled Ceylon (Sri Lanka) two lonely people, Annalukshmi and her uncle Balendran, must choose whether to pursue personal happiness — and destroy lives. One dreams of independence as her splintered family attempts to force her into marriage, while the other, already respectably married and a father, is confronted with his past — and his true desires — when his former lover, Richard, appears after years of separation.
