My friend Anna from Cinque Terre was kind enough to pass along E.M. Forster's classic 'Passage to India
'. Being another one of those books that I had heard was a quintessential read, I think I failed again to get what was expected. The book was certainly interesting and entertaining, providing a good example of cultural difference, but I had a difficult time imagining the 'India' described in the book, especially having read more contemporary India books. I will be curious to see which if any of these british colonial attitudes remain.
