Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Kipling's Kimball O'Hara has grown up. Employed as a secret agent, he supplies information that helps the British maintain their rule. But when a misinterpretation brings about the death of an innocent Indian and the wrongful imprisonment of another, Kim sets out to rectify the mistake. The resulting adventure takes Kim both across India and on a spiritual journey along which he must come to terms with his conflicting loyalties to himself, to Britain, and to India. The author of Taj and The Shooter has succeeded in re-creating the person and the tone of Kipling's Kim. Colorful characters, romance, intrigue, and vivid descriptions of India at the turn of the century are skillfully combined in this engrossing novel. Recommended.
