In an ill-fitting dress once belonging to her sister, she is awkward and shy, and couldn't be more different from the stories he has heard of fast 'Eurasian' girls. Ignorant of Calcutta's strict codes of conformity, he falls in love with Rosa and becomes enchanted by the building in which she lives,...

But each crisis of heart and conscience is guided by the compassion and intelligence of the abbess and by the sisters' shared bond of faith and ritual.
