5.0 out of 5 stars good fun read

Mason is the author, for those of you who don't recognize him, of the Four Feathers that made it into the movies a few years back. I picked this up expecting to grit my teeth and bear the racism that one expects from 19th century gentlemen. While this is by no means from the point of view of a native of India, this story of a prince educated in England and then thrown back into a country he regards as barbaric, and the prejudice he finds there ,even from the woman he loves, makes it almost as thought provoking as A Passage to India. The adventure is less important than the ties of blood and prejudice that motivate the main characters.

Went through a phase of reading many of Mason's books, wonderfully written adventure tales, very enjoyable. Back in the days when reading was "in" these would be great stories for teenagers. Pick up a little history on the way too. Highly recommended.

I have been trying out various free books on my Kindle, and have been reading a lot of Pre-WWII popular fiction just to see what was popular then. I have landed on some clunkers, but this book is very well written, in a style not unlike A. J. Cronin. Definitely worth trying.

2.0 out of 5 stars Never Finished It
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2015

I often read books written in other eras and am able to adjust to highly varying writing styles. I was looking forward to this story and its setting in Eurasia during British colonialism. I tried to read it but it never caught on and I put it away unfinished. I seldom let a book go unfinished, it's a matter of pride to get thru even difficult reads. I may pick it up and try again in a few months, just out of stubbornness.
