Once again, Doctor Jane Mackay sheds new light on the lives and literary intentions of some of the world’s great writers.

The finest novel about India not written by an Indian! Forster's great strength is his ability to put English values and Indian susceptibilities under scrutiny. His own experience of travelling in India with a close Indian friend, and his work as Secretary to a Maharajah, gave him very special opportunities for observation. We journey through the spiritual tensions of two clashing civilisations in the safest of hands!
