About this listen
In 1912, the SS Birmingham approaches India. On board is Morgan Forster, novelist and man of letters. It will be another 12 years, and a second time spent in India, before A Passage to India, E. M. Forster's great work of literature, is published. During these years, Morgan will come to a profound understanding of the infinite subtleties and complexity of human nature.

Well researched and imagined.
At times, there were a few mistakes that caught my attention. When I heard the narrator announce that Morgan had married, I thought that was a surprising flight of fancy, but he meant Mohammed.
The story was interesting and helped me feel more sympathetic towards Forster than before.

Passage to India's Past
I thought this was a brilliant novel, focusing not only on Forster's adventures in India, the genesis of Passage to India and Maurice, but also those he meets along the way, such as the Woolfs, Cavafy and Carpenter. Galgut brings this lost time to life and Finlay Robertson does an admirable job in narrating.

My book of the year so far.
Beautiful tender and utterly believable account of Morgan Foster's life. His slow acceptance of himself as a minorite, and even as writer. I loved every word.

A truly hateful book.
I've listened to about 20 minutes of this book, and given it a chance, but it's not remotely what I expected. Still trying to find out how to return it.

Dull and plodding
Makes Forster’s life sound so boring. Like George Lucas’ effort to retroactively insert evidence of events that apparently inspired moments in his future published works.
