This is the work that introduced Mother Teresa of Calcutta to the Western world. Malcolm Muggeridge paints a profound and moving portrait of a lady whose love for Christ and the needy has deeply impacted many a life - including the author’s. “For me,” says Muggeridge, "Mother Teresa of Calcutta embodies Christian love in action. Her face shines with the love of Christ on which her whole life is centered, and her words carry that message to a world which never needed it so much."

Howards End is a beautifully subtle tale of two very different families brought together by an unusual event. The Schlegels are intellectuals, devotees of art and literature. The Wilcoxes are practical and materialistic, leading lives of "telegrams and anger". When the elder Mrs. Wilcox dies and her family discovers she has left their country home - Howards End - to one of the Schlegel sisters, a crisis between the two families is precipitated that takes years to resolve.

  • Truly a Classic

Publisher's Summary

Adela Quested travels to India with her chaperone Mrs Moore, on the premise of deciding whether to marry Mrs Moore's son Ronny Heaslop, the city magistrate. Finding her India very disappointingly English, Adela jumps at the chance the two women are given to travel to the distant Marabar caves with Aziz, a charismatic young Indian Doctor.

When Adela is subjected to an attempted assault in one of the caves, Dr. Aziz is arrested and tried in court. The volatile situation forces British India's cracks to widen into chasms, although bridges of hope are found in some open-minded British characters like the logical college principal Mr. Fielding.

Forster's eloquent and mature prose style makes this unique and sensitive audio version of the classic story a moving and philosophical experience.

It's a classic, it makes for great listening

Would you listen to A Passage To India again? Why?

Yes, it's a great story

What did you like best about this story?

The variety of characters.

Have you listened to any of Meera Syal’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I haven't heard another of her performances,but she does it beautifully.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It's not a laugh or cry book - it talks about problems that we still seem to encounter today. It makes one think.

Beautifully read, captivating

Captivating the mood of the time, Forster describes the colours and sounds of India with great detail, vivid and compelling. A wonderful listen, Syal articulates rather magically throughout. Loved it.
