==Synopsis==
The novel recounts the love story of Amit Ray living in [[Kolkata]] in the 1920s. Though he is a barrister educated at [[Oxford]] his main interest lies in literature. Never afraid to speak his mind, he is always ready to challenge society's pre-established knowledge and rules regarding literature, equal rights and so on. While vacationing in Shillong, he comes upon a governess named Labanya in a minor car accident. Amit's iconoclastism meets Labannya's sincere simplicity through a series of dialogues and poems that they write for each other.

The novel also contains a self-reference of significance in Bengali literature. By the late 1920s, more than a decade after his [[Nobel Prize in Literature|Nobel Prize]], Tagore had become a towering presence in Bengal, and was facing criticism:
