Description:
Lucknow's courtesans and their boudoirs, aristocrats and their pleasure houses, the colourful vagabonds and their frolics, and the ups and downs in the life of a girl forced into the oldest profession, make the background and characters of this Urdu classic, translated into English by Khushwant Singh and M. A. Husaini.
Through its pages, the exquisite civilisation of the dream-town that Lucknow was during the time of Wajid Ali Shah, comes to life and the evergreen emotions that eternally flow in human heart startle the reader with their intensity.
