Join other book-lovers for a walk on Hampstead Heath to discuss Rumer Godden’s coming-of-age classic. Fleeing Nazi France, Louise brings her two daughters to India to be reunited with her husband. Here, eleven-year-old Emily finds herself caught in a tangled web of adult relationships, as fragile and troubled as the family’s feelings towards India, their new home. First published in 1942, Godden’s haunting novel of lost innocence is an enduring classic.
