A review by sjgrodsky
The Far Pavilions by M.M. Kaye

Did not finish book.

1.0

I really tried to like this book. I read the first 250 pages before setting it aside to read something else for a book club meeting. And I just had no interest in returning to it. There is certainly a good story that could be told: the theme of a man being caught between cultures is a good one. Being caught between a colonial power and a subject people is a better than good theme. But the author hadn't addressed these themes in a meaningful way by the time my patience ran out.
