What Members Thought
I'm glad I didn't actually take the time to read this. It was dull, dull, dull. It's the same basic premise as A Passage to India, which I also found dull. English girl in foreign country, goes on an excursion and things go awry.

This book was not what I expected, but it was my first foray into Forster. Much more sensual than James or Wharton, but still a similar theme: classes vs equality, hypocrisy, and, of course, romance.
I really enjoyed it and want to reread it immediately. Also I want to go to Italy now and stand in a field of violets :)

Story and characters are great but the writing style was just not for me
