I've said it before and I'll say it again. Forster's writing is incredibly poetic, and his imagery is majestic. This book portrays the three different families in such a way that snares you as the reader, and it does a marvelous job at contrasting the traditionalist with the liberal. Forster says "Only connect", and I believe that we should listen to him.
Graphic: Sexism
Moderate: Death, Death of parent, Infidelity, Pregnancy, and Colonisation
