Summary
When Adela is subjected to an attempted assault in one of the caves, Dr. Aziz is arrested and tried in court. The volatile situation forces British India's cracks to widen into chasms, although bridges of hope are found in some open-minded British characters like the logical college principal Mr. Fielding.
Forster's eloquent and mature prose style makes this unique and sensitive audio version of the classic story a moving and philosophical experience.

Beautifully read, captivating
Captivating the mood of the time, Forster describes the colours and sounds of India with great detail, vivid and compelling. A wonderful listen, Syal articulates rather magically throughout. Loved it.

Not the original A Passage to India
good story, good performance, but this is unfortunately not the full-length, original work by Forster.
