"In all India is no one so alone as I!"

Rudyard Kipling's Kim is the story of Kimball O'Hara, the orphaned son of an Irish soldier, who spends his childhood as a vagabond in Lahore. With an old Tibetan lama, he travels through India, enthralled by the "roaring whirl" of the landscape and cities of richly colored bazaars and immense diversity of people.

The novel is a masterpiece of careful organization and skillfully manipulated narrative techniques. By portraying Kim's utter devotion to the lama and his ability to share the life of the common people intimately and unselfconsciously, Kipling creates a vision of harmony - and of India - that unites the secular and the spiritual, the life of action with that of contemplation.

What a book. From start to finish it is a great read and full of action and suspense. Simon Vance does an incredible job, as usual, to bring the book to life

Good read

This a quest story basically. It is written in an evocative style rendering the exotic geography, languages, dialects, culture, superstitions, religions, mores, poverty, and politics of India. Through reading I was compelled to consider Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales’ pilgrims. Simon Vance gives another convincing performance.

A quest story, written in an evocative style from the exotic nature of India

Here is a magnificently low key, beautifully phrased story of love and faithfulness. Not to be missed, and carefully remembered.

I keep hoping for a sequel
