Features: The story takes place by the banks of the Ganges: The French Vice Consul in Lahore shoots a person in the middle of the night, aiming at the neighbor's garden from his balcony, shouting at Lahore; by the banks of the Ganges, a bald madwoman roams, often singing at midnight; the Ambassador's wife is the finest woman in Calcutta, yet she frequents the Blue Moon brothel with several British men. The lonely Vice Consul falls deeply in love with the Ambassador's wife. With her poignant prose, the love guru Du writes another impossible and desperate love story.
