More Information
Rumer Godden was born on 10th December 1907 in Sussex but moved
to India with her family as a baby. She seemed to drift a little during
her teens. She married in 1934 and had her first novel published in 1936. During
the war her husband abandoned her and their 2 daughters in India. She finally
made it back to England in poor health and virtually destitute. Salvation was at
hand though, in her suitcase was the manuscript for her best known novel The
River. It was adapted for film by Jean Renoir, several other books also made
the silver screen. In 1993 she was awarded the OBE.
