I guess I'm a fool. I thought E. M. Forster was easy to read, almost too easy sometimes.

When a young English widow takes off on the grand tour and along the way marries a penniless Italian, her in-laws are not amused. That the marriage should fail and poor Lilia die tragically are only to be expected. But that Lilia should have had a baby -- and that the baby should be raised as an Italian! -- are matters requiring immediate correction by Philip Herriton, his dour sister Harriet, and their well-meaning friend Miss Abbott.

In his first novel, E. M. Forster anticipated the themes of cultural collision and the sterility of the English middle class that he would develop in A Room with a View and A Passage to India. Where Angels Fear to Tread is an accomplished, harrowing, and malevolently funny book, in which familiar notions of vice and virtue collapse underfoot and the best intentions go mortally awry.]]> 1905 4 0 false Mon Apr 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 06:16:52 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 06:17:25 -0700 2009 more...]]> 81516362 2330731 3677 1419193775 9781419193774 71 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165030244m/3677.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165030244s/3677.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3677.Where_Angels_Fear_To_Tread 3.60 1312 1905 4 0 false Fri Mar 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Dec 19 17:17:25 -0800 2009 Sat Dec 19 17:24:00 -0800 2009
