The River de Rumer Godden & Anita Desai Resumen del Libro

By the bestselling author of Black Narcissus and The Battle of the Villa Fiorita

'The River will make you laugh, make you cry and, in its way, change you forever' JULIE MYERSON

'Her prose is pure, delicate, and gently witty' NEW YORK TIMES

'Bold, beautiful . . . everyone's appetites will be satisfied' ELLE

The River is Rumer Godden's beautiful tribute to India and childhood, made into a film by Jean Renoir. And in a preface for this novel she explains how the classic tale came to be written.

Harriet is caught between two worlds: her older sister is no longer a playmate, her brother is still a little boy. And the comforting rhythm of her Indian childhood - the sounds of the jute factory, the colourful festivals that accompany each season and the eternal ebb and flow of the river on its journey to the Bay of Bengal - is about to be shattered by a tragic event.

Intense, vivid, and with a dark undertow, The River is a poignant portrait of the loss of a young girl's innocence.

Available with Virago Modern Classics.
