Part One Of Two Parts

The author of THE FAR PAVILIONS returns us once again to the vast, intoxicating romance of India under the British Raj. SHADOW OF THE MOON is the story of Winter de Ballesteros, a beautiful English heiress come home to her beloved India. It is also the tale of Captain Alex Randall, her protector, who aches to possess her. Forged in the fires of a war that threatens to topple an empire, their tale is the saga of a desperate and unforgettable love that consumes all in its thrall. Filled with the mystery of moonlit palace gardens and the whisperings of passion and intrigue, M. M. Kaye evokes an era at once of its time, yet timeless.

"Another splendid tale of India." (Wall Street Journal)

Critique Appertaining To Books Shadow of the Moon

4.5 stars. Shadow of the Moon is a great historical epic, with love and hate, treachery and courage, set in India during the Sepoy Rebellion in the 1850s. Lucknow, IndiaM.M. Kaye takes her time setting up the story, beginning it with the parents and grandparents of the main character, a half-English, half-Spanish girl with the unlikely name of Winter. Winter spends her first six years contentedly living in India, but when her parents die, she is sent to live with her English relatives. It's not

I have very mixed feelings on finishing this book; on one hand, I liked the storyline with all its adventures, twists and turns, which overall made for an enjoyable read and often not easy to predict, for Kaye has a decent mastery of storytelling that keeps you interested despite the length of the novel. And then, there's the characterisation of the protagonist, who's one of the most interesting leading male characters I've encountered in historical fiction recently, with flashes that reminded

I remember this! It showed up in my Updates feed here on GR because Hannah is reading it and I thought I remembered it after reading just the title but was sure after reading the little blurb. I used to have a little collection of M.M.Kaye I started back in the 80's after a knee injury kept me off my feet for weeks. It all began with The Far Pavilions of course and that led to a mad scramble to read all her books set in INdia. (That whole India love affair began in 1979 with the Secret Garden) I

~ 4.5~A Heartfelt read.The introduction, actually the first part, felt long; the story about the heroines' parents and their parents and generally the back story of the character's and the time period. Personally, I thought it an essential element to the rest of the story. Both main leads were interesting, the heroine more emotionally-driven than the down to earth-minded hero but nevertheless both found their way to my heart.From the beginning to the end, I had this cool feeling that I'm reading

When I first read "Shadow of the Moon" as a young girl freshly enamored of M M Kaye's writing and my first encounter with her work in "The Far Pavilions". I was both disappointed and relieved at the reduced scale. Although it weighs in at 400+ pages (depending on your addition) it does not touch the level of geo-political rhetoric that Far Pavilions some times fell into. But with characters that are just as strong and clearly developed it is a much more, to me at any rate, enjoyable read. I must

A group of older friends I had when I was 16 introduced me to M.M. Kaye. The first book of hers I read was Shadow of the Moon. Due to school commitments I think it took me almost a week and I hated every moment I wasn't with this book. From the very beginning this book enchanted me. It is filled with the very essence of India and its people. For years Alex was the epitome of everything that was perfect in a man- in some ways he still is. He does, at any rate, remain one of my all time favorites

The romance aspect of this book kept it from being five stars. Five stars for the historical aspect and three stars for the romance averages out to four stars!
