It explores the life of a woman, the narrator, who finds herself banished to the garden of a remote residence in Simla, India, where she reflects on her experiences and the objects of her domestic life, longing for the comforts of her house as she is made to embrace the outdoors. The novel presents a humorous yet poignant commentary on her attempts to find beauty and meaning in her banishment while adapting to her surroundings. At the start of the narrative, the main character grapples with her sudden exile to the garden, where she feels at odds with nature and laments her loss of familiar comforts. She observes the landscapes and the mundane occurrences around her in a state of both disdain and curiosity. As she reluctantly acknowledges the beauty of her surroundings, she reflects on human existence, personal discomforts, and the quirks of the people around her, particularly her interactions with the local staff and their lives. This opening encapsulates her battle between social expectations and personal desires, setting the tone for her journey of self-discovery in the face of external circumstances.
