"It isn't as eventful as the first two in the series (essentially it goes over the events that have already taken place but from different points of view) but the characters are fascinating. " — Lara (4 out of 5 stars)

" Nice, but a bit plodding and over-written. I couldn't summon up the same level of interest as the author in Lady Manners (she might be an important character in the other book, but entirely irrelevant here). "
" First read this in the 1980's, after the TV series. "
" Couldn't put this book down...it hearkens back to the first book in the series a bit more...heart-breaking and intense. "
" The Raj Quartet, Volume 3: The Towers of Silence (Phoenix Fiction) by Paul Scott (1998) "
" Great writing, fascinating picture of India just before independence from Britain and a good beginning source for learning about this rich, stimulating and ever-changing country. "
" I liked the series. My 3rd favorite. "
" Excellent, but not my favorite in the Raj Quartet. This book address the same issues as in 2, but from a different individual's perspective. "
" This is an impossibly long book about India during the time of colonial rule, that once I was through the four books I was so sorry to see end :-( "
" see review of 'Jewel and the Crown' "
" The weakest of the series and yet you can not skip it to continue. It is a necessary link. "
" Great book and series!! "
" Book three of this series. "
" This was my second time reading this book. I was profoundly affected by it and admire it even more than before, although its excesses (not many, but there) jarred a bit this time around. "
