It is set in [[Nepal]] in 1956. The protagonist, Anne Ford, is a writer whose husband is a retired colonial civil servant: she comes to [[Khatmandu]] to teach English at the Girls Institute. The novel is based on Han Suyin's experiences when she was invited to attend the coronation of [[Mahendra of Nepal|the King of Nepal]], an event which is described in the novel. In the preface Han Suyin writes that the book endeavours to give as exact as picture as is possible of the time, but is fiction - the school at which Anne Ford teaches, many other institutions and places referenced in the book, and all the named characters, are invented.
