Where Angels Fear to Tread

Viac o knihe

Set in the picturesque Tuscan town of Monteriano, a recently widowed woman named Lilia Herriton embarks on a journey of love and self-discovery. Her romance with younger villager Gino Carella defies societal norms, provoking the ire of her elitist mother-in-law and son, who view the union as inappropriate. Their interference sets off a chain of tragic events. The novel delves into themes of class consciousness and the obsession with social appearances, characteristic of Forster's work. This edition features a comprehensive biographical timeline.
