An impressive new edition celebrating 100 years since its first publication, with a new introduction by Kamila Shamsie, author of Home Fire.

According to Kamila Shamsie: "There is no writer better than Forster in depicting the genuine feelings that arise from the interaction between two people."

Forster's last and greatest novel is also credited by others such as Damon Galgut and Anita Desai.

The Indian city of Chandrapore changes dramatically each season, offering different impressions from every angle. When Mrs. Moore and her younger companion, Adela, arrive in the city, they are disillusioned as they face the suffocation of British colonial culture. A chance encounter with the charismatic and well-respected Dr. Aziz seems to give them the perfect opportunity to see the "real India." However, during a guided tourist trip to the Marabar Caves, a strange incident occurs that leads to a shocking accusation, plunging Chandrapore into tension and the doctor into the center of a scandal from which he may never recover.
