The life of Rumer Godden, one of our best-loved contemporary authors, was eventful and dramatic as the plot of any of her novels. Born in India to English parents at the height of British colonial power, she always knew she wanted to be a writer and her literary career spanned six decades. In 1939, Black Narcissus became an overnight bestseller and has remained in print ever since.
