M. M. Kaye
Bantam Books, 1982
Excellent...not a "romance novel"
+ Morally confusing as "Pavilions" was not but just as crammed with adventure, politics, exotic locals and people and romance
+ Another wonderful tale of the Far East from M.M. Kaye
+ Outstanding historical romance novel

Perfect novel for young and adult readers!
I first encountered this book as a preteen, and have since revisited it at least once a year. While it is engaging for the young reader, it is also story rich to hold an adult's interest.

LOVED THIS BOOK
+ Despite the cover, this is so much more than an historical romance
+ A DREAM COME TRUE...
This is a great book. the reviewer before me has explained the story line so I won't go into that but this book is worth reading, I bought all 3 of the books in this series and the story line was very good in all 3 of the books.
