**E. M. Forster's exquisitely observed novel about the clash of cultures and the consequences of perception, set in colonial India *Among the greatest novels of the twentieth century and the basis for director David Lean's Academy Award-winning film, A Passage to India * unravels the growing racial tension between Indians, uneasy at best with colonial power, and the British, largely ignorant and dismissive of the society they're infiltrating. A sudden moment of confusion results in a devastating series of events that threatens to ruin a man's life, revealing just how deeply--and swiftly--prejudice has taken root.
