Excellent book. Worth the read and to have in my library. I liked this book so much i couldn't put it down till i had read the whole thing.

Valley of the Gods by Joan C. Guyll

An enthralling novel of obsession and intrigue set against the spectacular backdrop of the Himalayas. The authenticity of the setting can only be created by someone who has lived there. Ms Guyll transports us there successfully to see for ourselves what life would be like.
The story centres on a young geneticist, Lea who finds the prince of her dreams, Raj is a ruthless, manipulative drug addict who wants to steal their child to save his high caste race from inbreeding
Meticulously researched Ms. Guyll has created characters that are believable, the villainy of Raj and naivety of Lea entwine in a story that will make people want to read on. It is not just another love story. Far from it when Lea is stuck in the rustic mountains, feeling no better than a lab rat, she struggles to come to terms with a clash of cultures, drugs and lifestyles.
In her bid to escape we travel with her through snow-blocked mountains surviving avalanches and ferocious bears.
Ms Guyll writes with passion in an easy to read style flavoured with the taste, sights and sounds of India. Valley of the Gods is definitely worth reading.

I'm very impressed with the story! How does a Singaporean come up with such ideas? I've ordered 4 books and passed it on to people I know who love a good read - I've had requests for more - so I'm ordering another 4! Well done Joan!
