    <body><![CDATA[It took me some time to finally finish this book, with the majority of time and delay spent on the early chapters of the novel.  The mysticism and detail on which the Kashmiri base of this story was laid were very complex early on -- often to the point of overbearing.<br/><br/>But as the pace of the plot picked up the book was increasingly difficult to put down.  Given the joy I had in reading the chapters based both in the 1990s US and the French Resistance, I'm inclined to think that a firmer understanding of Kashmiri history would have buoyed my enjoyment of those sections of the story as well.]]></body>
