A Passage to India by E.M. Forster

5.0

Not just exquisitely written, but ahead of its time, dealing so deftly with issues of racism that it becomes at times deeply uncomfortable. There's an entire subset of contemporary British society that is identical to the British Raj, the old-timers of Forster's story, except they are considerably less educated, less polite, and well, less most things. But they share that repellent claim to a completely unearned and undeserved superiority. Forster's great gift is that he shows, rather than telling, and the result is a masterpiece.
