The Far Pavilions
by M.M. Kaye
This is an excellent performance of a magnificent novel. I'd been putting off 'The Far Pavilions' for years, disregarding my own dictum that it's better to read one long, great book than four mediocre, shorter ones. I was wrong to do so, because 'The Far Pavilions' is the kind of beautiful, compelling novel that makes the reader want to get back to it, and that makes the reader sad when it's over. This isn't just some long meditation on beauty, however. Like the very best novels, 'The Far Pavilions' is exciting, heartbreaking, rousing, and a real page-turner.
As narrated by Audie award winner Vikas Adam, the story comes alive through his skillful use of accents, pitches, and cadences to help the listener distinguish between the all the voices speaking through this novel. Even on double speed, his diction is clear and the action easy to follow. I absolutely loved this audiobook, and I can't wait for my wife to listen to it so we can discuss it together.
