The Diddakoi Av Rumer Godden

Hailed 'a small masterpiece' by Spectator, this is Rumer Godden's unforgettable evocation of India and of childhood, of innocence and experience.

Rumer Godden's classic wartime love story is a dramatic tale that was the basis for the film Enchantment starring David Niven and Teresa Wright.

From the esteemed author of Black Narcissus and The River, comes another captivating classic novel about a poor girl striving to create beauty among the bombsites of postwar London.

The basis for Powell & Pressburger's Academy Award-winning 1947 film, Rumer Godden's much-admired classic novel tells the story of a sisterhood of nuns on a mission in Himalayan India.
