Kingfishers Catch Fire

Rumer Godden

Sophie, a young English woman with two children, goes to set up home in fabulous Kashmir, finding a tumbled-down house in a valley carpeted with flowers below the Himalayas. Settling down to live there she is blissfully ignorant of the turmoil that her arrival produces. Sophie's cook is finally prompted to take action and the consequences of his innocent plotting are catastrophic.
