China Court: The Hours of a Country House by Rumer Godden

4.0

I'm a Godden fan so I knew I would like China Court, but I was surprised to find I loved it. Despite not being Catholic myself, I find the cultural associations with Catholicism to be appealing and so the plot line with the Book of Hours kept me engrossed in this story. Like others have observed, it feels very contrived at times, but it wasn't enough to keep me from finishing the book.
