Adela Quested, a young Englishwoman, travels to India with her potential mother-in-law, Mrs. Moore, hoping to experience the "real" India. They befriend Dr. Aziz, a kind Indian Muslim doctor, but a trip to the mysterious Marabar Caves forever changes their relationship. When Adela accuses Aziz of assault, the incident ignites racial tensions and exposes the deep divisions between the ruling British and their Indian subjects. Forster's novel delves into themes of colonialism, misunderstanding, and the impossibility of true connection across cultural divides.

E. M. Forster

E.M. Forster (1879-1970) was an English novelist. Born in London to an Anglo-Irish mother and a Welsh father, Forster moved with his mother to Rooks Nest, a country house in rural Hertfordshire, in 1883, following his father’s death from tuberculosis. He received a sizeable inheritance from his great-aunt, which allowed him to pursue his studies and support himself as a professional writer. Forster attended King’s College, Cambridge, from 1897 to 1901, where he met many of the people who would later make up the legendary Bloomsbury Group of such writers and intellectuals as Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey, and John Maynard Keynes. A gay man, Forster lived with his mother for much of his life in Weybridge, Surrey, where he wrote the novels A Room with a View, Howards End, and A Passage to India. Nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature sixteen times without winning, Forster is now recognized as one of the most important writers of twentieth century English fiction, and is remembered for his unique vision of English life and powerful critique of the inequities of class.
