I don't know how it took me until now to read this wonderful novel, and then only because I acquired an audiobook version of it (and found a paperback copy in my local library). Having been to Tibet and spent a little time in the Himalayas, I was enchanted by this story of a British consul who, along with 3 other foreigners, is skyjacked by a Tibetan pilot and taken to a remote valley and the lamasery called Shangri-la. The framing of the tale and the tale itself is brilliant.
