An English aristocrat by birth, Ashton was raised by a simple Indian woman named Sita and considered himself an Indian. He always believed that happiness awaited him in the green valley beyond the snow-capped peaks of the mountains called Distant...
Tents. However, before her death, Sita confesses that she is not his biological mother and that he is actually English. The boy is sent to England to receive a proper education. After graduating from a prestigious military academy, Ashton returns to India hoping to make a respectable career and meet old friends. However, after a while, the young man realizes that he has not become an Englishman, but the people of India do not consider him one of their own either. In the course of duty, Ash accompanies two Indian princesses to the principality where their wedding is to take place. During this long journey, he falls in love with one of the princesses, Anjali, and although she reciprocates his feelings, the lovers understand that they can never be together. It seemed they would be separated forever, but events begin to unfold in the most unpredictable way…
«Distant Tents» is one of the greatest literary sagas of our time, standing alongside such masterpieces as «Gone with the Wind» by Margaret Mitchell and «The Thorn Birds» by Colleen McCullough.
