In This House of Brede is a 1969 novel by the British novelist Rumer Godden (1907-1998).It is a serious portrait of religious life that centers on Philippa Talbot, a highly successful professional woman who leaves her comfortable life among the London elite to join a cloistered Benedictine community of contemplative nuns, at England's Brede Abbey.
It was adapted for television in 1975, and starred Diana Rigg.
It was published in the UK and the US simultaneously.
This is a copy of the first American edition, which was by Viking Press for the Book-of-the-Month Club.
The book is as you see it, with shelf-wear and scrapes to the dust jacket.
The inside is in near-perfect condition. It has not been read; it appears to have been leafed through.There are two little marks on pages 218 and 219. There is a book plate on the front endpaper but no one wrote a name on it.
376 pages; plain beige boards with a brown design on the spine.
