The Far Pavilions by M.M. Kaye

3.0

I have a lot of mixed thoughts about this book, one I had never heard of before viewing a BookTube recommendation video for historical fiction. I loved the beautifully written prose and setting of India. This was my first book I've read that was set in India, and I appreciated the historical background and cultural nuances the author addressed.

However, I did not understand the point of the final portion of the book, after
SpoilerAsh and Juli's honeymoon
. I felt lost and very confused. I also had trouble keeping track of all of the different characters, but perhaps it is because it is such a complex and expansive novel.
