2 posts | 2 read
Sophie, an English ingnue with two children, arrives in Himalayan Kashmir to set up home in a tumbledown cottage surrounded by flowers and herbs. Settling down to live quietly, frugally and peacefully with her new neighbours, she is unaware of the turmoil her arrival provokes as the villagers compete fiercely for her patronage. Sophie's cook makes a drastic bid to secure his position, and the unwanted consequences are catastrophic . . .

tenar I‘ve been meaning to read In This House of Brede for a year or more now, and maybe I would have if it was as beautiful as this! 😍 Looking forward to your thoughts. 2y
LeahBergen @tenar It‘s strange but I always seem to enjoy a book more if I like the edition (and reach for it sooner, as well). 😆 2y
