The Penguin English Library Edition of Where Angels Fear to Tread by E. M. Forster
`I had got an idea that everyone here spent their lives in making little sacrifices for objects they didn`t care for, to please people they didn`t love; that they never learned to be sincere - and, what`s as bad, never learned how to enjoy themselves`
E. M. Forster`s first novel is a witty comedy of manners that is tinged with tragedy. It tells the story of Lilia Herriton, who proves to be an embarrassment to her late husband`s family as, in the small Tuscan town of Monteriano, she begins a relationship with a much younger Italian man - classless, uncouth and highly unsuitable. A subtle attack on decorous Edwardian values and a humanely sympathetic portrayal of the clash of two cultures, Where Angels Fear to Tread is also a profound exploration of character and virtue.
The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
