Description
The Far Pavilions
is a story of nineteenth-century India, when the thin patina of English rule held down dangerously turbulent undercurrents. It is a story about an Englishman - Ashton Pelham-Martyn brought up as a Hindu and his passionate, but dangerous, love for an Indian princess.
It is a story of divided loyalties, of tender camaraderie, of greedy imperialism and of the clash between East and West.
