The problem with Pivillians is that he reached his high point in the middle of 
the book when his princess was about to be made (I don't know how to spell 
this) Satee.  The movie did it much better, and that's saying something from 
one who doesn't like it when movie-makeers play havock with the plot, but what 
they did worked.  They put the siege at Kabool before the rescue.  It wouldn't 
work the way she was sticking to historical time, but it should have been 
written that way.  That whole Kabool thing was to convince the British that Ash 
was dead; so he and, (now I really can't spell her name) could vanish into the 
hills. 
Names are why bookshare is better than talkingbooks.

  Hi Amber,
  I just read a book called the Far Pavilions by M. M. K. It's about a British 
guy who was raised in India by former servants of his deceased parents. The 
book is over 2100 pages in braille, and I found the history of British 
imperialism, Indian traditions, and Afghanistan interesting. I didn't care for 
the ending of the book because it made me think the author just got tired of 
writing, but there was enough interesting and informative in the book to make 
it worth reading anyway.
