Centering on an ambiguous incident between a young Englishwoman of uncertain stability and an Indian doctor eager to know his conquerors better, Forster's book explores both the historical chasm between peoples and the eternal one between individuals struggling to ease their isolation and make sense of their humanity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdward Morgan Forster was born in London in 1879 and attended King's College, Cambridge, starting in 1897.
