The title story follows Ruma, a young mother in a new city, who receives a visit from her father. As they bond over tending her garden, a secret love affair that he is keeping from his daughter unfolds. In "A Choice of Accommodations," a husband's attempt to turn a wedding into a romantic getaway for his wife takes an unexpected and revealing turn. "Only Goodness" explores the overwhelming guilt, anguish, and anger felt by a sister as she tries to provide her younger brother with the perfect childhood while battling his alcoholism.
The trio of linked stories titled "Hema and Kaushik" presents a poignant elegy of life, death, love, and fate. Set in Massachusetts, it follows the separate and sometimes painful paths of a girl and a boy who share a house during one winter. Years later, destiny brings them together again in Rome.
