"Mrs. Diver's new novel carries on the story of Sir Roy Sinclair, a man of vision and genius, who dominated her last book, 'The Singer Passes,' in which his fate was left uncertain. Here, too, she again reveals her insight into Eastern character through the mental and emotional problems of Sher Afzul Khan, a commissioned officer in a frontier regiment who belongs neither to the Anglo-Indian world he must live in nor to the wild mountain country that is his birth and heritage." The author, born in the Himalayas, enjoyed a "long and devoted friendship" with the family of Rudyard Kipling. .
