"What did happen to Miss Quested in the Marabar Caves?
This tantalizing question provides the intense drama at the centre of Forster's last and greatest novel, which explores racial tension in colonial India.
After a mysterious incident during their visit to the Marabar Caves, the charming Dr Aziz is accused of assaulting Adela Quested, a naive young Englishwoman. As he is brought to trial the fragile structure of Anglo-Indian relations collapses and the racism inherent in colonialism is exposed - a theme which still has poweful, dangerous realities today."

From the box on my Mount tbr.
Received today - thank you so much, have been looking forward to reading this classic!
A major drawback of the book is that many of the characters are usually unappealing. Even Mrs. Moore, who serves as the ideal in many ways, retreats into self-centered inaction as her health fails.
