I really enjoyed the first half of this book. I thought the writing was beautiful and that the characters were interesting. But, I wish I could have a conversation with Forster about what his intent behind how each of the characters change over time was. They made sense, but I just wish I knew what he was thinking sometimes. Maybe the problem was that this is the first historical classic I've read outside of school and, as the focus shifted to more domestic and political problems as the book went on, I was lost somewhere along the talks of cricket.
