'[Godden has] a genius for storytelling' EVENING STANDARD

High in the Himalayas, the mountaintop palace shines like a jewel. Built for the General's harem, laughter and music once floated out over the gorge. Now it sits abandoned, windswept and haunting.

The palace is bestowed to the Sisters of Mary, and what was once known as 'the House of Women' becomes the Convent of St Faith. Close to the heavens, the nuns feel inspired, working fervently to establish their school and hospital. But as the isolation and emptiness of the mountain become increasingly unsettling, passions long repressed emerge with tragic consequences . . .

Recenzii

A remarkable and beautiful book
A remarkable novel. One in a thousand
Like Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca or Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind, Black Narcissus is one of those rare novels that combines huge popular appeal with emotional subtlety and literary skill
Godden's wonderful book sets out a complex vision of the variety, necessity and danger of desire, rendered into a story that is completely pleasurable. I envy anyone reading it for the first time.
[Godden has] a genius for storytelling
[A] beautiful novel
All [Godden's novels] have one important thing in common: They are beautifully and simply wrought by a woman of depth and sensitivity

Notă biografică

Rumer Godden (1907-1998) was the acclaimed author of over sixty works of fiction and nonfiction for adults and children. Born in England, she and her siblings grew up in Narayanganj, India, and she later spent many years living in Calcutta and Kashmir. Nine of her novels were made into films, including Black Narcissus; The Greengage Summer; and The River, which was filmed by Jean Renoir. Godden won the Whitbread Literary Award for children's literature in 1972, and in 1993 she was named an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. She died at the age of ninety in Dumfriesshire, UK.
