A passionate story about forbidden, first love. Una is 15 when her father summons her and her sister Hal to start a new life in India. When she discovers that their beautiful governess Alix is actually his mistress, she is furious. Alix isn't qualified to teach Una at the level she needs to ensure a university place, but her father suddenly seems to think that his daughter's education doesn't really matter. Bored and lonely, Una starts to spend time with Ravi, the gardener's young assistant. He's a high-born Brahmin - a poet cast out by his family, a political activist hiding from trouble. He's also incredibly attractive. While her father is completely blind to Alix's neglect of Una and Hal, Una embarks on her first sexual relationship - one which breaks all the rules. Life is about to teach Una a lot of lessons - about race, about romance, about adults and about trust.
Rumer Godden was one of Britain's most distinguished authors, with many justly famous and much-loved books for both adults and children to her credit, including The River, Black Narcissus, The Greengage Summer and Coromandel Sea Change. She was awarded the OBE in 1993 and died in 1998, aged ninety.
