A Passage to India, by E.M. Forster, is set in British India in the 1920s. A Passage to India looks at racial conflict. The characters struggle to overcome their own differences and prejudices, but when the Indian Dr Aziz is tried for the alleged assault of Adela Quested even the strongest inter-racial friendships come under pressure.

The synopsis:

Among the greatest novels of the twentieth century and the basis for director David Leans Academy Award-winning film, A Passage to India unravels the growing racial tension between Indians, uneasy at best with colonial power, and the British, largely ignorant and dismissive of the society they’re infiltrating. A sudden moment of confusion results in a devastating series of events that threatens to ruin a man’s life, revealing just how deeply and swiftly prejudice has taken root.

A Passage to India is a staff favorite at Powell’s, and is available for $10.99.
