A Passage to India
by E.M. Forster
Arguably Forster’s crowning achievement, A Passage to India is a vibrant and intense portrayal of humanity and the spirit of India. Upon arriving in the town of Chandrapore, Miss Adela Quested and her senior companion Mrs. Moore almost immediately feel the isolation and prejudices of the ‘Anglo-Indian’ community and desire a chance to experience the real India. A must read for those interested in British India and the haunting culture clash of the early twentieth century.
Published in 1924, Forster’s ability to create an unforgettable cast of characters and build complexity upon complexity is flabbergasting. The novel is brilliantly paced, heart-wrenching, and a wonderful commentary on human emotion and decency. Forster has a keen eye for irony, social dynamics and a powerful command of prose that flows like the Ganges itself. A Room with a View remains my personal favorite novel by Forster but there is no doubt that A Passage to India deserves the title of one of the greatest modern classics. 5/5
