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

For Emily Pool, India is a magical place where she has the freedom to escape her mother's suffocating influence. Her days are spent exploring the canals and gardens of East Bengal, and admiringly observing her glamorous, dignified neighbours, the Nikolides.

But just as the cracks in Emily's family home are papered over, the Pools strive to maintain an outward impression of respectability, and it is through the Nikolides that Emily is exposed to a world of adult deceit and attrition. And when her beloved dog dies, the event forces a confrontation and reveals to Emily that nothing in the town is quite as it seems . . .

Recenzii

She has distilled in simple, luminous prose the experiences of expatriate India, of childhood and its innocence
[Godden's] distinctive, poised and unsentimental books have never lost a shred of their almost hypnotic appeal
[Godden has] a genius for storytelling
All [Godden's novels] have one important thing in common: They are beautifully and simply wrought by a woman of depth and sensitivity
INTRODUCED BY ROSIE THOMAS

Breakfast with the Nikolides was always to be the last hour of her childhood . . .

For Emily Pool, India is a magical place where she has the freedom to escape her mother's suffocating influence. Her days are spent exploring the canals and gardens of East Bengal and observing her neighbours, the Nikolides. While her parents paper over the cracks in the family home - and in their veneer of respectability - the Nikolides offer a glimpse of glamour and sophistication. Then a tragic crisis plunges Emily into a world of adult deceit, and reveals that nothing in the community is quite as it seems . . .

'She has distilled in simple, luminous prose the experiences of expatriate India, of childhood and its innocence' Lucy Hughes-Hallet

'A heart-wrenchingly truthful evocation of the transition from child to adult, combined with Godden's pitch-perfect descriptions' Guardian

'A genius for storytelling' Evening Standard
