You can't stop days or rivers . . . '
Harriet is caught between two worlds. Her older sister is no longer a playmate, her brother is still a little boy. The comforting rhythm of her Indian childhood - the noise from the jute works, the colourful festivals that accompany each season and the eternal ebb and flow of the river on its journey to the Bay of Bengal - is about to be shattered by a tragic event.
Intense, vivid and with a dark undertow, The River is Rumer Godden's compelling portrait of India and of children on the cusp of adulthood.
