What to expect

When Adela and her elderly companion, Mrs. Moore, arrive in the Indian town of Chandrapore, they quickly feel trapped by its insular and prejudiced British community.

Determined to explore the “real India,” they seek the guidance of the charming and mercurial Dr. Aziz, a cultivated Indian Muslim. But a mysterious incident occurs while they are exploring the Marabar caves with Aziz, and the well-respected doctor soon finds himself at the center of a scandal that rouses violent passions among both the British and their Indian subjects.

Critics Review

  • “The crystal clear portraiture, the delicate conveying of nuances of thought and life, and the astonishing command of his medium show Forster at the height of his powers.”

    New York Times

  • “Dastor’s performance is outstanding. A huge cast of characters of all classes and nationalities comes vibrantly alive as he takes the voice of each…His eloquent reading transforms into powerful performance literature…superior to the printed book…A Passage to India is a joy in audio…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

    AudioFile

  • “A Passage to India is one of the great books of the twentieth century and has had enormous influence. We need its message of tolerance and understanding now more than ever. Forster was years ahead of his time, and we ought to try to catch up with him.”

    Margaret Drabble, award-winning author
