Coming Events
Exploring India through the Lens of Novelists
Interested in traveling to India but don’t want to leave the comfort of your armchair? Our book group meets regularly, with discussions held both in person and on Zoom.
The April book is A Passage to India by E.M. Forster
Set in colonial India during the early 1900s, this novel delves into the complexity of human relationships shaped by culture, colonialism, prejudice and racial tension. A young Indian Muslim physician befriends several English tourists during a journey. A mysterious accusation inflames a courtroom drama, exposing cultural differences and disconnection between East and West.
“One of the 100 great works of 20th Century English literature.”
—Modern Library
“Because of the reputation the novel has acquired as a classic since its publication in 1924, one tends to forget what a smashingly good story it is.”
—The New York Times
Please join us on Friday, April 10, at 4:00 (ET) for a thought-provoking discussion of this classic novel.
