E.M. Forster's intense and moving story asks a listener serious questions about preconceptions regarding race, sex, religion and truth. Forster's to-the-point writing style makes this audio version of the classic story a real experience. Adele Quested and Dr. Aziz enter the Indian Marabar caves together, emerging to allegations of rape directed at Dr. Aziz and a subsequent trial. Adela never actually accuses Dr. Aziz of raping her, and makes decisions which ostracise her from both her fellow British countrymen and many of the natives. A hard-hitting political/philosophical work, Forster's masterpiece is also exotic and descriptive, a perfect suit for audio.

Must read classic
An exceptional early 20th century classic. Forster points out the prejudice and racial tension of British colonial India. The reader may find early on some difficulty with some of the Indian terms.A little research will make the rest of book easier to read.
Forster's novel was influential for support of India's independence from Britain,which finally happened in 1947.Now I want to see the Academy Award winning movie.
