Where Angels Fear To Tread - E.M. Forster

Forster's first published novel; is obviously highly accomplished but can't help but feel like a practice run for the similar but superior A Room With A View. There is lots of good stuff here, including some laugh-out-loud social comedy the sudden death of the main character a third of the way through. The conclusion is a little melodramatic but I don't want to sound over-critical; this is Forster after all.
