We hope you'll join us for a discussion of E.M. Forster's A Passage to India:

Among the greatest novels of the twentieth century, E. M. Forster’s sweeping tale of prejudice and racial tension is set in colonial India at the turn of the century. As the Indian independence movement is gaining momentum but while the country is still under the rule of the British Raj, Dr. Aziz, a young Indian Muslim physician, befriends several English tourists in spite of expressions of caution from his Indian friends. What begins as an unexceptional but well-meaning sightseeing outing to a famous cave erupts into a misunderstanding with devastating consequences.

E. M. Forster (1879–1970) was an English fiction writer, essayist, biographer, and travel writer whose most popular novels include A Room with a View, Howards End, and A Passage to India. Before his death in 1970 he was nominated for a Nobel Prize in Literature twenty times in fifteen separate years.

“Because of the reputation the novel has acquired as a classic since its publication in 1924, one tends to forget what a smashingly good story it is.”
—The New York Times
