Mohun Biswas was born in Trinidad to parents of Indian origin. The family pandit declared that since Mohun was born the ‘wrong way’, he would bring harm to his parents and would grow up to become `a lecher and a spendthrift’. The pandit’s prophecy is soon confirmed as Mohun becomes responsible for the drowning of his father.

As he grows up, he continues to live in the shadow of his dark fate and all his attempts to break out of it seem to go in vain. He even ends up marrying against his choice and becoming dependent on the overbearing family of his wife. He finally decides to buy a house for himself as means of making himself a free man.

The story follows his dogged pursuance as he strives to defy his fate and find a place for himself. The book is held among the best written contemporary English novels.
