About this listen
When The Far Pavilions was first published 19 years ago, it moved the critic Edmund Fuller to write this: "Were Miss Kaye to produce no other book, The Far Pavilions might stand as a lasting accomplishment in a single work comparable to Margaret Mitchell's achievement in Gond With the Wind." From its beginning in the foothills of the towering Himalayas, M. M. Kaye's masterwork is a vast, rich, and vibrant tapestry of love and war that ranks with the greatest panoramic sagas of modern fiction.
The Far Pavilions is itself a Himalayan achievement, a book we hate to see come to an end. it is a passionate, triumphant story that excites us, fills us with joy, move us to tears, satisfies us deeply, and helps us remember just what it is we want most from a novel.

Great start.... just too long and the pace died.
Loved the first half. Last half dragged on too much and was hard to get through.

Did not want it to stop.
Brilliant story, brave and courageous characters definitely worth the time.
As being mixed races myself I could relate to the gut feeling of not belonging to either one side or the other, but learning and accepting to be me.

Amazing Story of Cultural Identity
The story is great written with incredible detail and accuracy. The narrator did his research aswell, great voices, accents, and songs sung in tune.

pretty good
Overall this book did its job. I was after a long book to listen to when driving. and, for the most part, the storyline and writing style kept me interested. There was a definite dip with about 13 hours to go when I was tempted to give up but it picked up again after that so I'm glad I finished it.
I wouldn't specifically pick another book with this narrator. Some of the voices he used for characters were spot on but some others were difficult to put up with and his yearning tone was a real distraction at times.

A Wonderful Saga
As a book it is one of my favorite sagas. Yes it is far fetched but so rich in detail and intricately woven into the fabric of the times it describes.
A little attention to detail, with respect to pronunciation, would have gone a long way making the audio version perfect. Nevertheless it is a superb book 👌

An absolute treasure!
When I purchased this book I did not expect to find such a fantastic story inside. This is now one of my absolute favourite novels. The characters are so vivid and the story so well written that I couldn’t put it down! It is an absolute must read!

A sweeping saga, spoiled by the narrator
once again, the pleasure of read a good book diminished by the North American narrator. This is an English book with an English protagonist and as such should have been read by an English narrator. As it was, despite handling the Indian accents well, tge narrator made no attempt to master even a half decent English accent. Disappointing.
