Rumer Godden

    10 dicembre 1907 – 8 novembre 1998

    Margaret Rumer Godden è stata un'acclamata autrice la cui produzione letteraria è stata profondamente plasmata dai suoi anni formativi trascorsi in India. La sua vasta opera comprende romanzi, poesie, opere teatrali, biografie e libri per bambini, spesso ambientati sullo sfondo vivido dell'India. Possedeva un acuto intuito sulla condizione umana, esplorando complesse relazioni e vite interiori con prosa lirica. La voce distintiva di Godden ha dato vita a ricchi scenari e personaggi sfaccettati, offrendo ai lettori uno sguardo accattivante su mondi diversi.

      When Gem moves into The House Next Door, Nona and Belinda think she’s stuck up and vow to have nothing to do with her. But the beautiful Japanese doll in her window soon attracts their attention. They name her Little Plum because her clothes are decorated with plum blossom – but unlike Nona’s Japanese dolls, Miss Happiness and Miss Flower, Little Plum seems unloved and uncared for. Will the three girls ever become friends?

Both find, to their surprise, that their daring rewards them with great happiness.
