Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. Book Club Edition. "The Peacock Spring" by Rumer Godden is a novel set in India during the 1940s, following the story of two sisters, Victoria and Belinda, who live with their father, a British official, in a colonial estate. The narrative explores the complexities of growing up, identity, and the clash between British and Indian cultures in the context of the British Raj. The story focuses on the sisters' contrasting personalities and their different relationships with their surroundings, including their interactions with family, their longing for love, and their evolving sense of independence. Victoria, the younger of the two, becomes increasingly aware of the tensions and moral complexities of the adult world, particularly in regard to relationships and social expectations. At the heart of the novel is the unfolding of the sisters' lives against the backdrop of political and personal change. The title of the book, "The Peacock Spring," symbolizes both beauty and fragility, reflecting the transient nature of the sisters' experiences and their eventual journey toward self-realization. Godden's exploration of the characters' inner lives and the cultural and emotional dynamics of colonial India offers readers a deeply introspective and atmospheric narrative.
