The novel is an adventure and romance story that tells the tale of an English officer, Owen Liddell, who serves in the Indian Civil Service. He falls in love with a beautiful and enigmatic woman, Mehalah, who is a princess in the fictional Indian state of Kedar. The story follows their romantic relationship and the cultural and political challenges they face.Henry Seton Merriman was known for his adventure novels set in exotic locations, and "In Kedar's Tents" is no exception. The book combines elements of romance, political intrigue, and adventure, offering readers a glimpse into the British colonial experience in India.While not as well-known as some other works of its time, "In Kedar's Tents" is valued for its portrayal of the complexities of cross-cultural relationships and the historical context of the British presence in India during the late 19th century.
