The novel is mainly about the forgotten British poet/writer named C. J Richards who lived in Burma/Myanmar in colonial times and he believed himself as a Burmophile. He served as I.C.S (Indian Civil Servant) and when he retired from I.C.S service, he was a D.C (District Commissioner) and he left for England a year before Burma gained its independence in 1948. He came to Burma in 1920 to work in civil service after passing the hardest I.C.S examination. He wrote several books on Burma and contributed many monthly articles to Guardian Magazine published in Burma from 1953 to 1974 or 1975. Though he wrote several books which had much literary merit to both communities, Britain and Burma (Myanmar), people failed to recognize him. The story has two parts: one part is set in the contemporary Yangon (then called Rangoon) in 2016 context and a young literary enthusiast named “Lin” found out unexpectedly the forgotten writer’s poetry book and there is surely a good deal of time gap that led him into a quest to know more about the author’s life. The setting is quite different comparing to colonial Burma and independence Myanmar (Burma), early twentieth century and 2016 which is a transitional period in Myanmar. The writer’s life is fictionalized in the novel and most of the facts are taken from his personal stories and other reference books. It is a kind of historical novel with a twist and it has comparatively constructed the two different periods in Myanmar history to convince readers, locally and abroad more about history, authorship, humanity, colonialism, and transitional development in Myanmar today.

Raven et Jade se rencontrent dans une agence de mannequinat notoire de Soho, un antre de néons et de rêves brisés. Dans le brouillard perpétuel de la Tamise, elles reconnaissent instantanément en l'autre la même cicatrice : une enfance volée. Leur alliance nait dans les pubs enfumés et les chambres d'hôtel miteux de King's Cross. Leur relation charnelle est un orage londonien : violent, purificateur et désespéré, un moyen de sentir la chaleur à travers le froid qui les habite. Leur ascension les mène des podiums de Fashion Week aux soirées privées et crapuleuses dans les penthouses de Mayfair et les docks de Wapping. C'est là qu'elles croisent la route des Krayton, une fratrie mafieuse qui règne sur les arrière-salles de la City et le trafic d'influence. Pour ces hommes, éduqués à Eton mais élevés dans la cruauté, les filles sont à la fois des trophées, des outils et des jouets. Les "dettes" se paient en services rendus dans les sombres ruelles de Brick Lane ou les boîtes de nuit exclusives de Soho. La violence des Krayton est froide, méthodique, typiquement britannique dans son hypocrisie meurtrière. Elle réveille en écho les blessures de Raven et de Jade, qui apprennent à naviguer dans ce monde sans pitié. Leur sexualité, déjà tordue, devient une monnaie noire et une dague qu'elles aiguisent contre leurs bourreaux, jouant un jeu mortel de séduction et de trahison. Mais le brouillard de Londres cache tous les secrets. Les fantômes de leur passé , un père qui refait surface, une mère qui menace de tout révéler , ressurgissent au moment où les Krayton, lassés de leur insolence, décident de "régler le problème".
