Shadow of the Moon by M.M. Kaye

The author of 'The Far Pavilions' returns us once again to the vast, intoxicating romance of India under the British Raj. It 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.

In very good condition apart from some minor fraying to the top of the dust cover and a previous owner's name on the inside cover. A pencilled price has been erased and the original retail price has been cut out. None of theses affect the readability of the book.

This edition released in 1979 by Allen Lane, part of Penguin Books Ltd. Originally published by Longmans in 1957. 614 pages including a 2-page glossary.
