Summary:

• Ever since the publication of Black Narcissus in 1939, Rumer Godden has enchanted tens of thousands of readers with over 60 books, including a dozen widely acclaimed novels for adults, her memoirs, and a constant stream of books for children and young adults. At least nine of her novels have been made into films.
• Now Rumer returns to India -- the country that has inspired many of her greatest works -- in a magical, moving story about art, religion, love, class, race, and greed. Set in London and on south India's Coromandel coast, the story is based on a real case ten years ago when an international incident over the ownership of a priceless bronze statue resulted in the God Shiva (Acting Through the Government of India) actually being the plaintiff in a lawsuit.
• This entrancing modern-day morality tale is also at heart a tremendously touching love story. Wonderfully evocative, each page of Cromartie V. The God Shiva is indelibly imprinted with the sights and smells of India.
