What People are Saying About This

Margaret Drabble

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.

[It] is both a challenge and an indictment. It is also a revelation. -- Books of the Century; New York Times review, August 1924
