I highly recommend it if you're up for an epic novel. Filled with adventure, romance and war, The Far Pavilions is a long, rich and hugely satisfying read. This is an enormous book at almost 1,000 pages but it's well worth it. He is soon reunited with Anjuli but their love is a forbidden one. He returns years later as a military man but he soon finds that he's actually more Indian than English. Ashton later learns that he is English and he's sent back to England to be brought up properly.
As a young boy, he meets Anjuli, a Russian/Indian princess who becomes his closest friend. He speaks the language fluently and has enough of their colouring to pass for a northern Indian. The Far Pavilions is the story of Ashton, an English boy brought up by an Indian woman. It was even made into a mini-series starring Ben Cross and Amy Irving. The Far Pavilions was a worldwide best-seller when it was released in 1978 when M.M. Her grandfather, father, brother and husband all served in the British Raj. Kaye really knows her stuff as she was born and raised in India. I just love it and I'll pick up just about any book if it's set in that era. One of my favourite settings for a novel is the British Raj. Kaye, one of the best historical novels I've ever read. I hope I can entice some of you to pick this book up, The Far Pavilions by M.M. This is a good way to think of some of the books we read in the past that have left an impression on us but for some reason have yet to be mentioned in book blogs. I know we were reading way before we had book blogs but we usually only write about the books we've recently read. What do you think? It's a perfect way to bring attention to certain books. I might even make this a weekly weekend meme. Since I'm having a book reviewing slump, I thought I'd take the time to revisit a book I read in the past that's very good and has had little or no mention in the blogosphere. I'd forgotten about her and before this, I haven't seen any mention of her or her books on any book blogs. The other day at My Random Acts of Reading I read a post about the author M.M. There's been a lot of stuff going on that I've hardly had time to read.
