NOW A HAUNTING BBC DRAMA, STARRING GEMMA ARTERTON AND DIANA RIGG 'A
remarkable and beautiful book' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'I envy anyone
reading it for the first time' AMANDA COE '[Godden has] a genius
for storytelling' EVENING STANDARD High 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 . . .
