River

Hardcover (G K Hall & Co May 1, 1985) , Large Print edition
Large Print Edition. "The River" is Rumer Godden's beautiful tribute to India and childhood, made into a film by Jean Renoir. Godden captures the bittersweetness of a girl's approach toward womanhood, and tackles the biggest issues humans face - birth, death, identity, loss, and faith. With a concise, poetic hand, the author illuminates the spiritual and intellectual journey of a child who is beginning to piece together an understanding of the world around her, and to identify her place in it. The river is a simple, beautiful metaphor for the events that flow through the girl's life.
