The book consists of four stories that read as letters home from soldiers from India and the North-West Frontier which take place in 1915 and 1916. "A Retired Gentleman" and "The Fumes of the Heart" are both fictionalized letters written from the perspective of wounded Indian soldiers a Rajput and a Sikh to their families. The second is cast as a dictated letter from a Sikh soldier to his brother and has dramatic asides and digressions from the injured soldier punctuating the text. As for the remaining two stories "The Private Account" is presented as a scene showing an Afghan family reading and responding to a letter from their son on the Western Front and the final story "A Trooper of Horse" takes the form of a letter from an unwounded Muslim soldier in France to his mother. doubleday unknown books
