What's the Novel "A Passage to India" about and where can i get a copy?

Answer 1

A short plot summary: In this story, a British woman, Adela Quested, joins her fiancée in India where he works for the government. She is befriended by an Indian doctor, Aziz H. Ahmed, who is later accused of raping her. The accusation takes place after Adela's unidentified traumatic experience while touring a local natural attraction, the Marabar Caves. The ensuing court trial increases the racial tension between the Indians and the British (threatening to tear apart the colonial society of Chandrapore, India) and foreshadows the end of the British Raj.

I've read this book and LOVE IT... It speaks volumes! http://www.amazon.com

Answer 2

It's about a British who happened to stay there and thought he was in love with a lady but sadly she didn't love him. Moreover, it portrayed how some of the British thought, behaved and ruled people there. The author, E.M.Forster, was an interesting man of letters.

I quote this brief introduction from the inner page of a hardback for you:

A PASSAGE TO INDIA, published in 1924 and set in British India in the years immediately preceding, is a powerful critique of both colonizers and colonized. A story of racial and political conflict, it is also the moving account of personal loves and loyalties as characters on both sides of the divide struggle to overcome their own differences and prejudices.

I recommend a paperback published by Penguin Books, it's not costly, however, you may prefer a hardback published by Alfred A. Knopf in the Everyman's Library series, the new copy I have costs 9.99 pounds.

Answer 3

E. M. Foster's novel is about British India. Two British white girls go to see the Marabar Caves in India, and one of them accuses the guide, an Indian native, of molesting her.
