She was awarded the OBE in 1993 and died in 1998. It tells the story of a family between the wars who go to France to visit the battlefields.

I’ve read one book by R.G - Black Narcissus. Highly recommended and something different for book clubs to discuss, although finding copies may be difficult. A great book for writers. The 13-digit and 10-digit formats both work. The writing is glorious, melancholy and full of wistfulness for the shattering of innocence set against the backdrop of a lush, French summer. The Greengage Summer is Rumer Godden's tense, evocative portrait of love and deceit in the Champagne country of the Marne-which became a memorable film starring Kenneth More and Susannah York. A sixteen-year-old girl captures the dangerous attention of an older man in this New York Times–bestselling novel by the author of Black Narcissus. This is a charming rites of passage tale that is very much in the spirit of The Go Between (and hence Atonement) and The Railway Children. The Greengage Summer is not a novel of sensation, but rather about children experiencing that adult sense of being alone and without a safety net – particularly in the final section, Cecil’s panic leaps from the page.
