Literature and Fiction
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.
M.M. Kaye's masterwork is a vast, rich and vibrant tapestry of love and war
that ranks with the greatest panoramic sagas of modern fiction, moving the
famed literary critic Edmond Fuller to write: "Were Miss Kaye to produce no
other book, The Far Pavilions might stand as a lasting accomplishment in a
single work comparable to Margaret Mitchell's achievement in Gone With the
Wind."
