The name of this book is « Black Narcissus ». Please remove « Virago Press Ltd » and « (Virago Modern Classics) ».
Also, the description is incorrect. On the publisher's web site (https://www.virago.co.uk/titles/rumer...), the description is this one :
‘You have to be very strong to live close to God or a mountain, or you’ll turn a little mad . . .’
High in the Himalayas, the mountaintop palace shines like a jewel. Built for the General’s harem, laughter and music once floated out over the gorge. Now it sits abandoned, windswept and haunting – until Sister Clodagh and her group of nuns arrive to turn ‘the House of Women’ into the Convent of St Faith. Close to the heavens, the Sisters of Mary feel inspired, working fervently to establish their school and hospital. But the isolation and emptiness of the mountain begin to take a terrible toll, unleashing long-repressed passions with tragic consequences . . .
Thank you!
