2.0 out of 5 stars
His first novel, but certainly not his best,
By Bomojaz (South Central PA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mr. Isaacs (Notable American Authors Series - Part I) (Library Binding)
His first novel, set in India, Crawford seems more interested in presenting local color scenes, as well as the politics, religion, and customs of the country, than in telling an interesting story. Katherine presents the love interest, though she dies of jungle fever at the end. In one scene, that is typically Crawford while at the same time seeming ludicrous, everyone involved in a tiger hunt automatically "dresses" for dinner each night, as if they were on Park Avenue. Also there is too much talk in the book, something that Crawford would become expert at, which only deadens everything. Crawford would write much better novels than this one later in his career.
