An epic novel of love and war, divided loyalties and fierce friendship, set against the breathtaking, perilous backdrop of 19th-century India under British rule.
Rich in adventure, heroism, cruelty and love. Publishers Weekly
The Far Pavilions might stand as a lasting accomplishment in a single work comparable to Margaret Mitchells achievement in Gone With the Wind. Edmond Fuller
This sweeping epic set in 19th-century India begins in the foothills of the towering Himalayas and follows a young Indian-born orphan as he's raised in England and later returns to India where he falls in love with an Indian princess and struggles with cultural divides.
The Far Pavilions is itself a Himalayan achievement, a book we hate to see come to an end. It is a passionate, triumphant story that excites us, fills us with joy, move us to tears, satisfies us deeply, and helps us remember just what it is we want most from a novel.
A masterwork of political intrigue, cultural conflict and transcendent romance that ranks with the greatest panoramic sagas of modern fiction, The Far Pavilions is a searing insight into the human heart.
