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.

Les parents de mon mari ont été piqués par un frelon inconnu et ont été envoyés d'urgence à l'hôpital. Je suis allée à l'institut d'entomologie pour demander à mon mari, le directeur, d'aider les médecins à établir un diagnostic. Mais il a appelé les agents de sécurité pour me bloquer à l'entrée. « Je ne traite pas les affaires après le travail. La mère d'Isabelle est malade, je dois aller m'occuper d'elle. » Je voulais lui montrer l'avis de danger critique, mais il me l'a arraché et déchiré. « Beaucoup de gens meurent tous les jours. Tes parents sont morts, et alors ? » Après la mort de mes beaux-parents, j'ai porté plainte contre Isabelle qui avait volontairement fait tomber le nid de frelons. Mon mari, disparu depuis quelques jours, est soudainement apparu au banc des experts et a falsifié un avis professionnel pour innocenter Isabelle. Quand j'ai décidé de partir à l'étranger, mon mari s'est mis en colère : « Tes parents sont morts parce qu'ils étaient faibles, en quoi cela me concerne ? J'ai travaillé toute la journée, j'ai pas le droit de me reposer ? » « Tu veux même entraîner Isabelle avec toi ? Ta famille est brisée et tu veux détruire celle des autres ? Quelle cruauté ! » « Des gens comme toi méritent de perdre leurs parents ! » En regardant son visage plein d'hypocrisie et d'accusations inversées, j'ai soudainement compris. En fait, il ne savait pas encore qu'il était devenu orphelin.
