«El río» is Rumer Godden's coming-of-age novel, published by Roca Editorial in paperback (157 pages, in Spanish).
In British Imperial India, Harriet, an English girl, enjoys an idyllic childhood among her siblings, the flowering garden, and the river that flows toward Bengal. The passage of time makes her universe less kind: growing up brings changes that cannot be controlled. Godden pays homage to India and to her own childhood.
Novel originally published in 1946 as 'The River'; this Spanish edition, translated by Inés Belaustegui Trías, belongs to the Lettera collection. Jean Renoir adapted it to film.
For readers of classic fiction and coming-of-age stories set in colonial India, with a child protagonist.
Margaret Rumer Godden was a British author of more than 60 fiction and non-fiction books. Nine of her works have been made into films, most notably Black Narcissus in 1947 and The River in 1951.
