Passage to India. E. M. Forster. 1988.

Journeying out to marry Ronny Heaslop the predictable City Magistrate, Adela Quested, full of good intentions but curiously myopic, blunders into an incident which quickens the pulse of Anglo-Indian mutual distrust.

What happens to Adela at the infamous Marabar Caves, and the subsequent ordeal of charming and mercurial Dr Azia, is wrought by E.M. Forster into a drama as memorable and breathtaking as India itself.
