- Diverse cast of characters? No
1.5
Probably the most irrelevant book I have read this year.
I was always intrigued by E. M. Forster and his books but this ain’t it. The writing is so random, inconsistent and anticlimactic. The ending is very lame. It is interesting to read about Edwardian society but I am already forgetting most of this story. The chapters’ titles were delightful, though!
“My father says that there is only one perfect view — the view of the sky straight over our heads, and that all these views on earth are but bungled copies of it.”
