In Trundle,an imaginary Australian town, Mr Lal’s wife falls ill and dies.
In his grief he dreams up an outlandish plan to build a monument, a replica of the Taj Mahal. His Taj will be a tribute to his culture and a memorial to his love and struggle as a migrant and outsider. His search for land takes him to the town’s outskirts, where Pelican is a defunct spiritual commune on the verge of disbanding.
