Description

NOW A HAUNTING BBC DRAMA, STARRING GEMMA ARTERTON AND DIANA RIGG'Godden's wonderful book sets out a complex vision of the variety, necessity and danger of desire, rendered into a story that is completely pleasurable.

I envy anyone reading it for the first time' - Amanda CoeHigh 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. The palace is bestowed to the Sisters of Mary, and what was once known as 'the House of Women' becomes the Convent of St Faith.

Close to the heavens, the nuns feel inspired, working fervently to establish their school and hospital.

But as the isolation and emptiness of the mountain become increasingly unsettling, passions long repressed emerge with tragic consequences . . .
