Paperback. Condition: Very Good. BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF BLACK NARCISSUS AND THE RIVER 'A haunting tale . . . the whole book burns with the beauty and poetry' EVENING STANDARD 'Powerful adult themes underlie the novel's glimmering surface' ROSIE THOMAS, GUARDIAN 'One of our best and most captivating novelists' PHILIP HENSHER Sophie Barrington Ward, without a husband, with two children and very little income, is faced with making a new life. She arrives in the Eden of Himalayan Kashmir to set up home in a tumbledown cottage surrounded by flowers and herbs. Settling down to live quietly, frugally and peacefully with her new neighbours, she is unaware of the turmoil her arrival provokes as the villagers compete fiercely for her patronage. Sophie is determined to live with the Indians and like it. Pundit Pramatha Kaul, her wise landlord, shakes his head. Profit David, her merchant friend, warns her. But when Sophie's cook makes a drastic bid to secure his position, the unwanted consequences are catastrophic . . . Mesmerising and thoughtful, this Godden's lesser-known classic evokes India's uniquely beautiful landscape amidst a timeless tale of misunderstanding. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR004769668

Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Fair. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. spine creases, covers have several chips, corner missing. good reading copy. Set in Kashmir, this is the story of Sophie, a young and idealistic English woman with two young daughters who decides to set up house in a remote Indian Village. She finds a tumbledown house nestled into the foothills of the Himalayas and there plans to live peacefully and frugally and at one with the villagers around her. However, she is blissfully ignorant of the turmoil that her arrival produces with the villagers soon in fierce competition for her patronage. Sophie's cook is finally prompted to take action and the consequences of his innocent plotting are catastrophic. This is a poignant story of the conflict between idealism and reality which has strong parallels with Rumer Godden's own life and experiences in the foothills of the Kashmiri Himalaya. 'A haunting tale . . . the whole book burns with the beauty and poetry of a matchless landscape, but the human side of it is wry, delicate and true' - Daily Telegraph. Seller Inventory # 051689
