The Far Pavillions

Based on M.M. Kay’s enormously successful novel, The Far Pavilions is a lavish series set in the India of the British Raj. A young English officer, raised as a Hindu, is shunned both by his fellow officers and the Indians amongst whom he spent his childhood. His unhappiness deepens when a childhood sweetheart, Anjuli is forced into an arranged marriage. As the British are driven back by the mutinous Afghan rebels, Ash fears he may never live to see Anjuli again.
