The narrative follows Qasim, who leaves his Himalayan village to navigate the tumult of early Pakistan, adopting an orphaned girl, Zaitoon, and establishing a life in Lahore. As he thrives in the vibrant city, nostalgia for his mountainous roots grows.

This leads her into a life of subservience, challenging her dreams and identity. Bapsi Sidhwa's debut novel explores the clash of cultures and the constraints on women's freedom.
