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
'Rumer Godden is a master storyteller, a genius at conveying a sense of place' Observer

Her days are spent exploring the canals and gardens of East Bengal, and admiringly observing her glamorous, dignified neighbours, the Nikolides.
