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.

Would you listen to The Far Pavilions again? Why?

Yes, because the story transports you back in time to the Raj.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ashok. Just watching him mature.

What aspect of Vikas Adam’s performance might you have changed?

His pronunciation. For goodness sake the word Quayside was pronounced Kwayside instead of Keyside. Same with Torquey. Other words too many to mention. His voice did not reflect the depth of character of Ashok and others.

Any additional comments?

Would have enjoyed the book more with a different narrator.

Excellent book pity about the pronunciation

I read this book when it first came out and really enjoyed it - so it was great to find it in a different format that I can now enjoy while at the gym. It's a long, long book but this simply means the opportunity to get more depth into the characters. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

Loved it!

What made the experience of listening to The Far Pavilions the most enjoyable?

Wonderful story - quite gripping - and what a history lesson. Politicians should take note before they ever consider sending our troops into Afghanistan again - nothing there has changed!!

What did you like best about this story?

I was there - sitting on the characters shoulders, watching it all happen.

Magnificent - "unputdownable"

Beautifully written saga of epic proportions. But beware - the narration is dire! The narrator’s English, Scottish, Irish accents were awful parodies (annoying, awkward & stilted!)! I almost gave up on this multiple times because the narration was so annoying. Why wasn’t more attention to authenticity? But If you can tune out the terrible narration, be prepared to be immersed in a wonderful story.

Sweeping saga let down by poor narration

I have previously read this book so knew it was a great story. Some of the best historical fiction I’ve read. I read the other reviews about the performance and was apprehensive. I can’t help but agree that the UK regional accents and pronunciation were poor. It’s poor editing. However I felt that the actor carried the most important and dramatic moments really well and so overall I think it is good.

Accents etc...
