The novel depicts the jazzy life of Mohanalal who is gifted with great musical knowledge but he doesn't have anyone who could say his name after his era. His few disciples (all of whom women) whom he also has sexual relations with, cut off from him because of his uncanny nature. Through out the book, we see the story unfold from these characters.
The book teaches us a good bit of Classical music and makes us fall in love with it.
