About this listen

A Passage to India is one of the greatest novels of the 20th century. This enthralling tale takes the reader to India amid one of the most exciting eras of history. During British Imperial rule, India was changing and so were the people who lived there. E.M. Forster opens up a whole new world of exotic landscapes, misunderstandings, and passionate love affairs.

When Adela, a British school teacher, and her companion travel to India, they set out on an adventure of a lifetime. While in the company of the charming Dr. Aziz, Adela decides to explore the mysterious Marabar Caves. What begins as a stunning journey into the real India, a misunderstanding ruins the entire trip and threatens to destroy the honorable reputation of Dr. Aziz. A Passage to India is a tale as timeless as love itself and just as exciting.

The story is good but the tone of reading is sadly not so good. Another reader needed to do this book justice i think

Poor reading

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Although a classic of its time, this novel is ruined by the dreadful narration. It seemed that the narrator was reading it for the first time - the intonation and rhythm were frequently wrong. Very frustrating.

Dreadful narration

The voices representative of the characters. Great story line. Interesting take on India and our colonial past.

the conversation

The narration sounded very robotic. Shame Audible can’t get something better for such a beautiful book

Beautiful story but shame about narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
A prescient tale of what was to become of India through the Colonial period before 1948. How the British Empire governed the local people in an arrogant and heartless manner. They were convinced of their own superiority and were quick to demean and punish their subjects.
E.M.Forster is a brilliant writer and
describes the situation in India from firsthand experiences.
