  • "Pour les amateurs de romans historiques, une fresque bien construite et articulée sur 25 ans (1851-1876), dans les décors à la fois misérables et prestigieux des Indes, à l'époque impériale britannique. Des idylles et beaucoup d'aventures guerrières (la révolte de Cipayes) fournissent une lecture bien alimentée dans ce roman documenté publié en 1978."
  • "Au XIXe siècle dans l'empire des Indes, histoire de la passion d'Ash, Anglais élevé comme un Indien, et de Juli, une princesse indienne.--[Memento]."
  • "For the first time in trade paperback--the monumental bestselling novel of 19th-century India. "The Far Pavilions" is a passionate, triumphant story that satisfies deeply and helps us remember what we want most from a novel. "Rich in adventure, heroism, cruelty, and love".--"Publisher's Weekly.""@en
  • "Strijd en liefde ten tijde van de 19e eeuwse koloniale oorlogen in India tegen de achtergrond van een imposante natuur."
  • "The Far Pavilions is a story of nineteenth-century India, when the thin patina of English rule held down dangerously turbulent undercurrents."
  • "From the foothills of the towering Himalayas, through the palaces of old India, across the bone strewn passes of the Khyber, to the final cataclysmic scene in the ancient "Land of Cain," M.M. Kaye weaves a vast, rich and vibrant tapestry of love and war that ranks with the great panoramic sagas of modern fiction."@en
  • "Tells the story of an English man - Ashton Pelham-Martyn - brought up as a Hindu, of his passionate, but dangerous love for Juli, an Indian princess, of divided loyalties, of friendship that endures till death, and of high adventure and of the clash between East and West."
  • "This is a magnificent romantic/historical/adventure novel set in India at the time of mutiny. "The Far Pavilions" is a story of 19th Century India, when the thin patina of English rule held down dangerously turbulent undercurrents. It is a story about and English man - Ashton Pelham-Martyn - brought up as a Hindu and his passionate, but dangerous love for an Indian princess. It's a story of divided loyalties, of tender camaraderie, of greedy imperialism and of the clash between east and west. To the burning plains and snow-capped mountains of this great, humming continent, M.M. Kaye brings her quite exceptional gift of immediacy and meticulous historical accuracy, plus her insight into the human heart."
  • "From its beginning in the foothills of the towering Himalayas, to the burning plains, to the besieged British Mission in Kabul., M.M. Kaye's masterwork is a vast, rich and vibrant tapestry of love and war that ranks with the greatest panoramic sagas of modern fiction. It begins in 1857 when, following the Indian Mutiny, young English orphan Ashton is disguised by his ayah Sita as her Indian son, Ashok. As he forgets his true identity, his destiny is set. This is a story of divided loyalties and fierce friendship; of true love made impossible by class and race; a critique of the imperialist adventure; and an examination of the cultural and spiritual clash between East and West."
  • "A tale of love that takes the readers from the Himalayas to the palaces in the East."@en
