This glorious novel is in good condition. The dust jacket is not present. There is an inscription dated 1971 on the inside cover. The spine shows a little wear, but the yellow hardcover has minimal signs of damage. Please see photos for better representation of condition.
"News reaches Maharana Prince Jagat and his wife, Moti, that their only son, Jai, has been killed by the Chinese in a border skirmish. An inconsolable Moti sends Jagat out to bring the boy's spirit home. On the journey, the prince becomes involved with a beautiful and mysterious young American woman. Thus begins the fatal attraction between Eastern and Western ways, one bound by rigid custom, the other temptingly ripe with freethinking." -GoodReads
