The Far Pavillions by M.M. Kaye

I first read this book when I was in high school.  I have read it again a couple of times since then.  It is an epic tale of a man living in India during the Raj (Queen Victoria's reign).  Since it is an epic it has it all: drama, adventure, romance, history, etc.  I love it.  It may not be the finest fiction available, but it is a classic, and I love it.

I have never gotten all the way through this one I have gotten close, but, not close enough.

This is the longest book I have ever read! I loved the first half of it, and then I felt the other half of it dragged a little. My sister, who has also ready it, and I agree that it should have been split into two different books. But I love everything else by M.M. Kaye
