  <description><![CDATA[The first volume of Rumer Godden's autobiography is full of those characteristics that distinguish her as a novelist -- joy, elegance, courage, humanity, a passion for India. It also illuminates her understanding of the darker side of life, of tragedy, loss, suffering, and long endurance bravely borne. Spanning the years 1907 to 1946, this &quot;brimming, spirited memoir&quot; (Kirkus Reviews) is an extraordinary story that gives context to her beloved novels, as well as a captivating portraint of a time, a woman, and an outlook. ]]></description>

    <![CDATA[The first volume of Rumer Godden's autobiography is full of those characteristics that distinguish her as a novelist -- joy, elegance, courage, humanity, a passion for India. It also illuminates her understanding of the darker side of life, of tragedy, loss, suffering, and long endurance bravely borne. Spanning the years 1907 to 1946, this &quot;brimming, spirited memoir&quot; (Kirkus Reviews) is an extraordinary story that gives context to her beloved novels, as well as a captivating portraint of a time, a woman, and an outlook. ]]>
