The general premise of the novel seems simple, overdone. Four wordly Westerners find themselves in a lost Edenesque city hidden in the distant Himalayas.

But the familiar storyline does not end up as predicted. It successfully keeps the reader interested – and wanting more.

Particularly relateable for the original audience – this gem of a novel (...how trite that sounds, sorry…) was written in 1933, I believe – its themes are still applicale today. Definitely read it!
