It was okay.
I love E.M. Forster but I think this was my least favorite of his novels (just slightly under Where Angels Fear to Tread).
Not bad by any means but I don't think it sang quite like some of his other novels. Plus it's a British author talking about British Imperialism in India so you definitely have to take it all with a grain of salt (that being said, I do think he's rather critical of British Imperialism given the year the book was published).

so. excruciatingly. SLOW !!
trudged through this book like it was a chore. sometimes i could barely follow what was going on and who was speaking. at times, it felt more like a documentary on religion and race than a fictional novel with plot. though barely anything happens in the first 150 pages, the writing is quite beautiful and the Forster questions many aspects of society such as corruption and power imbalances rooted in racism. definitely wouldn’t reread and not sure if it was even worth the effort i put in, but i’m glad i pulled through just to be able to say i read it once. go for it if you’d like to diversify your reading a bit more and to attempt to understand culture clashes.
