There are so many things about this book that I enjoyed. I liked the author's style of writing. Like the train that Kip took to Kashmir the text seemed to roll off the page in a very natural way. The story itself had a degree of simplicity yet I thought the language of the book was very rich. The book is like a poem where every word matters.

I've always been intrigued with Kashmir so I was eager to read this story. The setting and the drama unfolding left me feeling very sad and the life realizations of Kip and the General's daughter had stayed with me and I think would resonate with anyone who reads this book. Although, this book takes place in a small corner of the world that differs greatly from the modern world I think everyone can find a connection to it. I would highly recommend reading it.
