For the first time in Russian! One of the greatest literary sagas of our time, ranking alongside such masterpieces as Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell and The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough. Fate seemed to separate British officer Ashton Pelham-Martin and his beloved Indian princess forever. Anjuli. After Anjuli and her sister Shushila became the wives of the ruler of the Bhithor princedom, Ash returned to his place of military service. He had a long vacation ahead of him, which he wanted to spend with his faithful friend, young Lieutenant Wally Hamilton. However, events began to develop in the most unpredictable and ominous way. Ash learned that the ruler of Bhithor is on the verge of death, and according to the ancient Indian tradition, the wives of the deceased ruler should be burned alive on his funeral pyre... Horror-stricken Ash rushes to save his beloved, not yet knowing at what price this treasure will be paid to him. “Distant Tents” is one of those books that you read in one breath, and you want it to never end. Parting with her characters is like parting with a beloved friend.
