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.

This is a wonderful story set in India at the time of the 1857 Mutiny. It is an epic story of romance, love, war and friendship which you will find hard to put down, and even harder to forget. I have read this many times but this is the first time I have been able to listen to it as an audiobook, and I have not been disappointed. The reader - Vikas Adam - is excellent, bringing the story and characters to life.

Highly recommended!

Wonderful book, beautifully read

The Narrator was American and suffers from the compulsion to pronounce ever syllable that seem to be inbred in our U.S. cousins. Not only did he mispronounced words, his attempt at a British accent grated and sounded like some one from the subcontinent. It spoiled what is a wonderful story. This recording may be acceptable in the US but not in the UK. Divided by a common language!

Awful narration

Loved this book from my youth. So thought I would love the audiobook but sadly due to the narrator it was spoilt. Mispronunciation and the most awful accents out of the many books I’ve listened to.
A grating 45 hrs. Will probably not listen to it again

Worse narrator

Interesting tale of Indian history and culture and how one man makes his way through the hurly burly of life. Well read and atmospheric.

Absorbing

Fabulous book. Read many times. A wonderful story resonant with the vibrant colours of India
