Thalia Book Club: E. M. Forster's A Passage to India, 100th Anniversary

Authors Rumaan Alam, Min Jin Lee, and Colm Tóibín come together for a deep dive into one of the great works of the 20th century. E. M. Forster’s sweeping tale, set in colonial India, explores racial tension as the Indian independence movement gains momentum while the country is under the rule of the British Raj. With a reading from the novel by actor Bhavesh Patel (Present Laughter).

“Because of the reputation the novel has acquired as a classic since its publication in 1924, one tends to forget what a smashingly good story it is.”—The New York Times

Produced in collaboration with Penguin Classics.
