We all remember certain sweeping novels we hated to see come to an end; it was almost like breaking up with someone we love. You will feel that way about _The Far Pavillions_. From the foothills of the Himalayas, through the palaces of the exotic East, this novel is a passionate and triumphant story that excites us, fill us with joy, moves us to tears, and helps us remember just what it is we want most from a novel. It is a mesmerizing story of hatred and bitter combat; of courage, and human sacrifice, of the star-crossed wedding of East and West. Above all it is a tale of love. The story of Ash, an Englishman, and Juli, a princess who must choose between the heritage of her people and the man she loves. It is a story that transcends time and place, a monumental epic we will never forget.

5.0 out of 5 stars
an epic,
By Ashley McCain "Book Worm" (WPB, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Far Pavillions (Paperback)
I really did enjoy this book. I had just finished Gone With The Wind for the first time. Then I picked up this book. It had action, romance, and treachery. I love that it pulled me into India and their customs. It's a great book to introduce you to another culture and history. I would even recommend reading this story to a child at bed time. It will hold their interest.

M.M. Kaye is one of the best all time writers,
By Erika R. (Hamilton, Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Far Pavillions (Paperback)
This book is a classic and a keeper. I have seldom read books more than once, but this one I will re-read again and again. The prose is beautiful, the story moving and the characters are multi-dimensional and unforgettable. At close to a thousand pages this novel is still too short!

Spell binding and easy read,
By Theodore Thompkins (Costa Rica) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Far Pavillions (Paperback)
A very long historically based book that is well written but avoids being heavy even if colonial India is not of particular interest. Difficult to put down, very exciting and at times tear inducing.
