The story seems to explore the complexities of social interactions and relationships in a changing society, particularly focusing on youthful innocence and the social expectations placed upon young women, with the character of Nanda Brookenham serving as a central figure. The opening of the novel presents a preface where the author reflects on the evolution of his writing process, indicating that the original inspiration for the work grew into something more elaborate than he initially anticipated. He shares insights into the thematic foundation of the book, which revolves around a critical social phenomenon: the transition of young women into society and the dynamics that come with it.
