Creators: Mixed When Adela Quested and her elderly companion Mrs Moore arrive in the Indian town of Chandrapore, they quickly feel trapped by its insular and prejudiced 'Anglo-Indian' community. Determined to escape the parochial English enclave and explore the 'real India', they seek the guidance of the charming and mercurial Dr Aziz, a cultivated Indian Muslim. But a mysterious incident occurs while they are exploring the Marabar caves with Aziz, and the well-respected doctor soon finds himself at the centre of a scandal that rouses violent passions among both the British and their Indian subjects. A masterly portrait of a society in the grip of imperialism, A Passage to India compellingly depicts the fate of individuals caught between the great political and cultural conflicts of the modern world.
MixedSo, although I highly, highly recommend this book, I think it's incredibly powerful, incredibly important, it brings so many important themes to the forefront, and I think these are themes and topics that we all need to discuss and think about, but with that said, as a story, as a plot, it left me wanting more, which is unfortunate, but I highly recommend it regardless.
LovedIt's a really complicated criticism of imperialism by a real favorite author of mine. I highly recommend A Passage to India.
