A Passage to India

A Passage to India by E.M. Forster

August 3, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

CBR14Bingo – Hot – I am calling this hot because of all the times the English characters complain about the heat. “Hot” being entirely relative of course, and the main thrust of the book about the English failure to recognize the interiority of the Indian characters. In addition, the heat plays an important role in the novel throughout leading to specific events that tell us about the different characters, but also acts as a kind of metaphor of how the British Raj specifically tried to […]

One of the first queer novels has a happy ending.

Maurice by E.M. Forster

December 21, 2021 by narfna Leave a Comment

“A happy ending was imperative. I shouldn’t have bothered to write otherwise. I was determined that in fiction anyway two men should fall in love and remain in it for the ever and ever that fiction allows, and in this sense, Maurice and Alec still roam the greenwood.” -E.M. Forster Secretly, E.M. Forster had the heart of a romance novelist. I say that half in jest, but also half seriously. Romance novel HEA’s are serious business. We come to them for solace, for surety and […]

“Of course he despised the world as a whole; every thoughtful man should; it is almost a test of refinement.”

A Room with a View by E.M. Forster

October 10, 2021 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

When thinking about my White Whale pick for Bingo this year I was coming up short. Then the Go Fug Yourself Book Club on Goodreads voted to read A Room with a View for October and I found my whale. Many classics are heavy reads, but I found A Room with a View to be refreshingly light on the whole with some lively characters. It’s an accessible story, funny, biting, poignant, wistful, romantic. It’s a study of (mostly) good people, who love one another as […]

“Life is easy to chronicle, but bewildering to practice”

A Room with a View by E. M. Forster

June 5, 2021 by tiny_bookbot Leave a Comment

There’s always classics I’ve been meaning to read but haven’t gotten to yet, and summers are in part a chance to chip away at that long, long list (so many books! so little time). E. M. Forster’s A Room with a View was the latest to be ticked off the list, and it’s a nice one to get around to. Forster’s second novel, after Where Angels Fear to Tread, it’s a brisk, breezy, Austenesque volume that comes in under 200 pages: quick, spritely, and while it clearly […]

Posh Historical English Boys In Love

Maurice by E. M. Forster

January 14, 2021 by Singsonggirl 3 Comments

First review! I hope I’ve figured it all out and this doesn’t look completely terrible. Also, I’m not fully sure yet how I’ll use the rating system, so there might be adjustments in the future. To the book: A friend has recommended this to me, I’ve seen bits of the movie on TV, but I mostly only remember how ridiculously beautiful young Hugh Grant was. I’m definitely planning on seeing the whole film now, because the book is something else. While reading it, I quickly […]

Can you imagine a life where all you have to do is summer in the Italian countryside?

CBR12 BINGO: I Wish Double BINGO! Vertical: The Roaring 20s, Pandemic, Friendship, Green, I Wish Horizontal: Money, No Money, Repeat, I Wish, Violet The title of my review comes from the classic episode of The Office in which we learn about the Finer Things Club.

That sums up why I selected A Room with a View […]
