No food purchase required. ABOUT THE BOOK A classic novel about the misperceptions and misunderstandings that illustrate the divide between East and West, E.M. Forster's A Passage to India is a masterpiece of twentieth century English fiction, and an important text for anyone interested in understanding the British involvement in colonial India.

    It was great meeting everyone yesterday. This was my first venture into a book club, and everyone was so warm and inviting to the new members. It was a good book, and it was interesting to share, and be part of the varied perspective ideas of the book.

    It was wonderful meeting everyone!
    Some interesting trivia about the use of Marabar caves in the book.

    "The area was also the setting for the opening of E.M. Forster's book, A Passage to India, while the caves themselves are the site of a crucial, though ambiguous, scene at the book's symbolic core. The author visited the site, and later used it, as the Marabar caves in his book".
