Abandoning her passionless marriage to colonial civil servant, John Ford, Ann journeys to Kahtmandu, land of gods, temples and snow peaks in a voyage of self-discovery and spiritual awakening.
Against the erotic and deeply mystical backdrop of Khatmandu she learns the reality of love, with its pain and sacrifice. Here she meets the majestic Uri Mennon, worshipped by his own people, resented by the Europeans. And as they struggle against the rigid morality of European colonial standards and the man-made perversion of racial discrimination, their remarkable story - and the story of Khatmandu - unfolds.
