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.

Isang misteryosong at kakaibang matanda ang biglang sumulpot sa harapan ni Amira, at pagkatapos niyang tulungan ito ay may inilagay na lamang ito sa kanyang palad. Isang singsing na tila pinaglumaan na ang panahon, hindi alam ni Amira kung ano ang dapat gawin sa naturang singsing kung kaya wala siyang magawa kundi ang tanggapin iyon. Sa hindi niya mabatid na kadahilanan ay tila malakas ang kanyang koneksyon sa singsing at tila hindi ito ang unang beses na kanya itong nakita. Sa paglipas ng araw, naging ordinaryo lamang ang kanyang araw ngunit hindi niya akalain na gigising siya pagkatapos ng mahimbing na pagkakatulog sa hindi pamilyar na mundo at panahon. Ang mas nakaka gulat pa ay isa siyang masamang maharlika at walang iba kundi ang asawa na susunod na magiging rajah. At mukhang numero uno pa siya na kontra bida sa love story ng ginoo. Editing...
