A Passage to India, E. M. Forster’s exotic and emotive masterpiece is set in the era of The British Raj in India, the stunning narrative presents a complex and unsettled society through the voices and innermost thoughts of its many magnetic characters.


Finding her India very disappointingly English, young British schoolmistress Adela jumps at the chance to travel the distant Marabar Caves with Aziz, a charismatic young Indian doctor, and her elderly friend, Mrs Moore. When Adela is subjected to an attempted assault in one of the caves, Dr. Aziz is arrested and tried in court. The volatile situation forces British India’s cracks to widen into chasms, although bridges of hope are found in some open-minded British characters like the logical college principal Mr. Fielding.
