The book delves into the lives of a young couple, Asya and Manu, as they explore an unnamed city, interact with expatriates, and ponder their future, reflecting a lifestyle devoid of shared language, religion, or family ties.
The novel is described as a fictional ethnography, examining a modern breed of people who live untethered lives, resembling an empirical study with made-up characters.
The concept of culture, encompassing knowledge, beliefs, art, morals, and societal habits, is highlighted as a 'complex whole' in anthropological study.
