Another of Godden's India books. Like the other I've read (Black Narcissus) this is poignantly drawn; a portrait of someone touching and endearing and at the same time, desperately, worryingly naive and headed for disaster. These books are beautifully written, and while a bit old fashioned, not in a bad way.

oh my goodness I have not thought of RG in years! So many wonderful titles: "In this house of Brede", "An Episode of Sparrows," "China Court," and on and on...............I think I am going to schedule a massive RG reread for this autumn!!!
