The novel opens in India, where Raymond Bethune has made his home for many years among soldiers, frontier politics and servants such as the inscrutable Muhammed, and where the fate of a young officer will shape the life of a woman in England. At home, love, grief and loyalty to the dead pull against one another as the past refuses to stay buried.
