The Far Pavilions by M.M. KayeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I first read The Far Pavilions by M.M. Kaye when it was first published in 1978 and have since read it a few times…it’s become one of my favorite books ever.
This is an epic novel of Ashton Pelham-Martyn, an English officer, during the British Raj period in India, who falls in love with Anjuli, a half-caste Hindu princess.
The author’s knowledge of and childhood experiences in India make this an epic and unforgettable book.
A sweeping and gripping high adventure and passionate love story, of heroism and cruelty, bigotry and prejudice, danger and love and the most breathtaking and vivid descriptions of 19th century India, - an absolute MASTERPIECE!!!
A fantastic reread every time!!!
