Title: A rare pleasure
Product review: This book gets my highest praise. I did not think anyone was writing like this anymore. It could almost have been written in the era in which the action takes place, the 1870s, since Mason seems to give voice to the best of human feeling and language missing in modern writing.I was in Burma and Thailand recently, not too far from places described in the book. Mason paints a picture faithful to the depth of texture and richness of place.I wonder how many modern readers will have what it takes to appreciate this book.
