ajreader 's review for:

A Passage to India by E.M. Forster
2.0

Read my full thoughts on Read.Write.Repeat.

"The book centers around Dr. Aziz, an Indian doctor, Mrs. Moore, an older English woman, Adela Quested, a young English girl engaged to Mrs. Moore's son, and Cyril Fielding, an Englishman who has befriended Aziz.

Mrs. Moore meets and befriends Aziz at a mosque, despite an initial misunderstanding of each other's intents. This encounter and subsequent ones all highlight the differences between the Indians and the British. While the characters are too polite - or perhaps too sanctimonious - to discuss the differences with each other, they continually cause misconceptions between parties. Each party is simply unable to read the other culture's social cues."
