BW48: Ladies of Fiction Bookology - Rumer Godden

 

Welcome to December!  This month we honor those who died on December 7, 1941 in Pearl Harbor, celebrate St Nicolas Day on the 6th, the beginning of Winter on the 21st, as well as Festivus, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Boxing day, and the all important Christmas book flood  Jólabókaflóð.  

We also are celebrating our Ladies of Fiction Bookology author of the month, Rumer Godden, writer of literary fiction novels, children's books, short stories, and poetry. Several of her books including Black Narcissus have been made into films and Television.  She resided and worked in both England and India and moved to Scotland the last years of her life to live with her daughter. Her last novel was published in 1998 before she passed away on November 8, 1998

There are a number of ways to complete the bookology challenge, including but not limited to:

Spell out the author's name - one book per letter from the title on the cover.

Read one or more books written by the author.

Read a book written in the country or time period of the author.

Learn more about Rumer through Rosie Thomas: rereading the India novels by Rumer Godden,  Reviving Rumer Godden’s classics, British Summer Reads For Catholic Kids: Rumer Godden, and Publisher Weekly's compilation of reviews .
