frontiermidwife's "Books that I won't give away"

My friend who was raised in India turned me on to Rumer Godden. He said her stories were truly told. I trust him about the India part, but I know the stories are all good ones. She wasn’t a best selling author for nothing. My friend gave me this particular book, and for that reason alone, I’ll keep it. But I relate to the story, and have enjoyed re-reading it. “Black Narcissus” is one of my favorite older movies, I keep looking for the book in used stores but haven’t found it yet. I find that libraries have gotten rid of Godden’s novels these days. I think that’s a mistake.
